Hi
I have a Vista machine I bought from Evesham a couple ago years ago. They have since gone bust. My Jack Russell, when he was a puppy used to sit on the top of the pc and one day chewed off the activation code. I had to reinstall vista from the disk supplied by evesham last month and it is now asking for the activation code. I was wondering if there is anyway i can get hold of this. Kind regards jc

The link posted will not help as its an oem version, MS does not support oem
versions. You are basically screwed, you should have used a key finder before you reinstalled "Jonathan Crawford" wrote in message .. .

Kind regards jc DL, I think you may be wrong on this one. MS will support some OEM systems if the OEM is no longer in business as the link that Rick gave states about 1/2 way down the page. The OP said that the company is not in business any longer.

No it won't, there's nothing to retrieve on a fresh install.
