I have a Dell Inspiron PC which I have had for more years than I would like to count. It has been very reliable over that time. However, it crashed a while ago and I tried to re-install using the Windows Vista installation disk that came with the computer. It installed fine but would not activate the license. It gave me 30 days to activate. I did a little google search on the problem and found and used something called Belrac to list configuration information thinking that the key found in the report would work. unfortunately it would not. I called Dell but I got tired of waiting on the phone. Can someone help me?
Thank you all for your comments and advice. They are all most appreciated. Since the PC is so old I think I'll go another route. I like to tinker and try new things so I think I will try and install a free operating system like Ubuntu on the old systems and learn something new. These particular systems I only use for the grandchildren when they come over to surf the internet thats all. Nothing special.
I have bought over 12 Dell PC's and laptops over the years for my family and myself. The quality of their product and their support in my opinion has truly gone down considerably over the years. I am very disappointed in them.
Thank you all again. Yiou have been most helpful. Happy Holidays to you all!
