Hello, it is probable I am going to try a clean install via http://www.askvg.com...bit-and-64-bit/ due to my system freezing after restart, forcing a System Restore. I've done repeated partition restores yet there is always something that comes up. Either some critical files are missing rendering the restart useless at times, or it is something else. Regardless, if I SHOULD follow through with the clean install (I'm backing up files at the moment), should I rely on Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder? I don't have my Windows 7 installation disk on me so this is a predicament. I don't want to go to the point of no return only to find it fetched me a faulty key.

Where's your product key sticker?

[Zuelajindi]

On the CD case, probably, which is lost.

Is this a laptop?

[Zuelajindi]

Desktop. My mistake, I believe it is found on the tower.

[modi123_1]

Yeah the sticker should be on your tower.

For some reason the product key on my tower did not match the product key I got from Magical Jelly Bean.

The product key on the sticker is what should be used on install. Use that... heck.. write the other one down even.. what ever floats your boat.. but the sticker on your box should be the legit one.

Let me know when the linux user can do a little gentle gloating for you.

I'm ready anytime you need that.

I am actually on my way to trying out Linux. Partitioning at the moment..

I would figure you would work out why your computer keeps locking up.

Like said, I'm going to give the recovery CD a go.
