Thanks for the replies guys, that is very unfortunate for me then isn't it

I didn't have the money for retail at the time i purchased vista OEM with my
new hard drive.
I shall try disabling plug-ins, and see how i go.
Will microsoft still offer me support if i am to call their customer service
hotline? Or will they ignore me because i purchased OEM
Sorry for the harsh words to microsoft, i was kinda stressed at the time as
i had enough trouble even finding my way to these support forums let alone
the support ticket...
