Fairly certain you wont be accessing this one soon.

Stealing software and asking for ways to make it work is bad. And against rules of most websites.

I assume you were banned for talking about illegal copies of Windows.

Well, this:

...is the only answer you'll get. That's the only legal way to rectify 'the "illegal" problem'! If you don't want to fork out money for Windows, go and look for some free OS.

Ok, I do want to fork out money for windows - thats not a problem.
I've rang microsoft and they've told me that I can only solve this problem online, I have to purchase a genuine license online and that doesnt bother me.
The thing is when I go about doing this I am coming to a brick wall as explained earlier because my browser does not have the activeX conrol to run the genuine validation process, does anyone know how I might get this control installed on my browser?

Actually, have you run antivirus/spyware/malware checks lately? Some nasty programs can limit ActiveX controls...
