I'm having the same problem, and I understand many other are as well. So, is there a solution? I have a laptop and sure cant unplug my keyboard or would want to anyway to solve this problem.

I've read on some other sites that windows is working on this problem, it may be a registry issue, and something about 64bit processors yada yada. Gateway (my computer manufacturer) tells me they don’t have support for 22 character S/N laptops. So...seems hopeless. Thought about calling windows myself, but after reading about a $59.99 tech support charge, I said forget that! Please! Is there anyone out there that can help this issue? Its extremely annoying and aggravating. Thank You.
