Thanks for the laugh . . . not to make light of your situation, but I
enjoyed the way you vented your frustration.

Is there a small chance that you mistyped the serial number? Before you
e-mail me something explosive, your s/n repeats the same number sequences in
one or more place. For example, where your s/n is "-0-01-01-6-61" or
whatever, are you certain you did not enter "-0-01-6-61" or "-0-01-61-" . .
.. I have actually successfully fixed the "invalid serial number" several
times with this answer, the last time being two weeks ago.

Please, check it out. As for the pre-installation warm-up at 99%, I get that
too . . . it does take way too long but less than 45 minutes <vbg>.

Cheers,

Sean<Br>
