| | Re: Vista Premium reporting invalid code That is a common type of error. Quite often what you see, or see incorrectly as in this case, you will continue to see. That is why I suggest having someone else try. But you beat it on your own. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "JethroUK©" <reply@the.board> wrote in message news:BV3ti.12315$ph7.3045@newsfe5-win.ntli.net... > Ureka - i typed "B" instead of "8" - i can't beleive i done this > about 6 times - but it works now |
