Do a clean re-install (if you didn't already).
OK, problem with Activating. What version of Win7 did you install?
I understand Windows 7 7100 RC (what version?)
1. Basic
2. Home
3. Home Premium
4. Professional
5. Ultimate
or one of the ,N versions.
What is the KEY: 1st 5 and last 5 will do.
Versions are KEY selective.
OK, but what you posted was your Product ID: which indicates it is basically a Ultimate Key.
You also say Win 7 7100 RC. Ultimate.
I recommend you try another KEY.
you key should look like this:
KEY:the one you typed in when ask during the install. If you did not type in a key during install, you only have 30 days Trial... that is also why it will not activate.Code:VMCB9-FDRU6-6CDQM-RV23K-RP8F7
If the problem was due to an incorrect key, then surely it would just fail to activate, but not return an error.
Hi there
can you post a screenshot of the error (snip tool should still work).
Note you CAN'T yet use WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) as this is not yet working for W7 -- don't confuse this with Windows Activation.
If Windows doesn't activate properly chances are you've got a "Key genned" or other hacked copy.

I've noticed the '1 click cleaner' on your desktop. If you've used some sort of registry cleaner it may have edited a needed registry key, there are no cleaners that work 100% with Windows 7. As similar in architecture to Vista as it may be it's still vastly different.
