I guess I didn't push that issue. They sent me a DVD and it worked.

cdogg, I am using an MSDN version that requires a product key. Had this computer come with a sticker it would have worked because I did it with another Dell computer just a few months ago where I used this exact same version of windows 7 pro 32bit with the key on the side of the machine. At...

This computer came with windows 7 pro 64bit already installed. I used a program to give me the product key. Then I installed windows 7 pro 32bit. Using that key, MS will not activate it, even over the phone. Dell either needs to give me media that will not require a key to activate or give...

The computer already has windows 7 pro 64 bit on it. It just came with the windows 8 disc. I told the salesmen that I am going downgrade from 64bit to 32bit. I am a little angry that he didn't think that this could be a problem for me.

edfair, Cloning is a really great idea. Do you think there is a problem with me doing that now that I have got one machine working because of the key that MS gave me? Would there be any sort of consequences later of having all these machines with the same key?

Thank you for the responses. This computer came with windows 7 pro 64bit but also included a license for windows 8 pro 64bit. The media that came with the computer is for windows 8 pro 64bit. I checked the sleeve and there is no product key on that either. On a side note, I ordered 13...

This is not a laptop, so there shouldn't be a battery compartment. I did open the case just in the event they put it there but it's not there either. I look all around the case and it's just not there at all. I didn't give the cardboard box a good look because I didn't feel that would be a...

This is a brand new computer from Dell that came with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. It just doesn't have the usual PID sticker that ever other computer I have ever ordered comes with.

When I right click computer, click properties, then click activate now I get the following error message: The Windows 7 Product Key you typed is invalid for activation. I already typed the product key that came with my computer during installation of a new version of windows. How do I...

That looks like a really great solution except it appears as if I would need to implement it on every page, does that sound correct?

I would like to redirect automatically to a 'timeout.aspx' page when the session expires. I am using 'stateserver' and cannot change to 'InProc'. I understand that the Session_End does not fire. The situation I would like to handle is when someone is logged into the website and walks away...

cdogg, I was able to get to the original computers and do a custom run on clonezilla and only changed the size of files to 1000 MB. This was successful and the image of the computer was created successfully. Not sure why this was happening but we are good now. Thank you all for your information.

Yes, Vista is fully up to date.

Here is the latest information. I wasn't able to get to the two computers with a problem so here is what I did. On a computer with Windows XP, I used virtual box to setup a virtual windows vista home basic OS and shared a folder for putting images from another computer. From a computer with...

cdogg, I will try your suggestion because you are correct in assuming I was using beginner mode. I will report back the results.
