Windows 7 - Windows 7 phone activation menu cut off. |

Windows 7 phone activation menu cut off. I have a very odd problem that I really need help with. After upgrading several components of my PC, my Windows 7 Home Premium needs reactivation. Unfortunately since it would appear that I've used up my 'available' activations I need to do the phone activation method.
Everything is ok until I get the installation ID. If you check the attachment you'll see that it is cut off and I can't see the 9th set of numbers. Therefore I can't phone activate.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

It was going so nicely till it got to 'contacting' tech support stage. Its as if no one is in and the phone keeps ringing (Was forwarded there from the phone activation help.)
If I can just figure out why I can't see the 9th set of numbers, I'd manage the rest just fine. Can't imagine why it's doing this. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium |

Try changing the resolution and/or dpi
If that does not work keep trying the phone, they probalby work business hours, of some country.

Try DPI, that will solve it, I hope. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 |

The phone activation system asks for 9 sets, and if it wasn't because of the black markings I placed to cover the numbers, the cut of would be far clearer, it partially cuts off a number. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home Premium |

The DPI should work, did you try that. Not the same as resolution. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420 OS Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, clean install, upgrade disc CPU Intel Core2 processsor Q8200(2.33Ghz 1333FSB) Quad Core Tech Motherboard Dell Memory 6 gb Graphics Card ATI Radeon 256MB HD3650 Sound Card Intergrated 7.1 Channel Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell SP2009W 20" Keyboard Dell USB Keyboard Mouse Dell Premium Optical USB Cooling Fan Hard Drives 640 GB Serial ATA Hard drive Internet Speed DSL 2.85 Windows 7 phone activation menu cut off. problems?
