Ever run across that before? If so, what's the fix for that? Thanks in advance, texdoug After clicking on "run as administrator" and typing in slmgr -rearm, I get the following message:

Since you waited for the expiry, its not working. Regarding reduced mode, check the expiry date in "winver". It might give some idea. ^^ The method only works before the expiration of Windows activation. Since you waited for the expiry, its not working.

I thought my company had given me a product key, though it was only for upgrades from Vista. I think it's Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. The slmgr -rearm thing worked perfectly 3 times. Then on the fourth month, I got lazy and waited until the wallpaper blackened while I was playing some good old fullscreen stuff. It told me "This isn't genuine, go get a key" or something like that. Anyways, I immediately tried it. It said it wasn't allowed or whatever Windows security message. So I did the reg edit and tried it again. It said it worked, though at login the same thing happened, and the reg edit had been undone. Thus far, I haven't really notice any reason to validate other than the nag screen at login, opening certain applications like Wordpad (which still work) and a black wallpaper for 10 seconds until the wallpaper slideshow brings up a real wallpaper. Is this everything there is to "Reduced Functionality Mode" then? Anyways, thanks for the tutorial. ^^

PS: If you leave it inactivated, you'll not be able to use Windows unless you activate it. ^^ Doesn't "slmgr -rearm" command work more tahn 3 times for you after using this registry method?
