it considers it as a changed hardware and requires activation.

i was assuming that the operating system would ask for re-activation. but not working? that's unusual.

i wonder why ms cannot fix the minute driver issues ?

^True. Windows 7 activates itself by checking the OEM of PC which is nothing but the make of the motherboard.

No , that's not the problem ... i think its illegal talking abt the bios patch here .

By mentioning about how Windows 7 activates I didn't encourage anyone to use the 'patch' as you mentioned.

So I don't think I've done an illegal thing .
