It's already invalid. Go back and read.

Why can't you just simply suggest the return procedure? Why all the extra
crap? Because your adam and that's all there is to it.

Check out the, "Talk about WOW" thread to see adam in action.

Either way, the procedure in my post will get it working. Fully working!
The rest of adams crap is...well, crap! Aside from returning it to MS.

You already posted this. Quit spamming you troll!

Why do you insist on junking up the NG with double posts?

Classic adam garbage:

Cop or not, you troll and spam. Now answer the questions!

Why can't you just simply suggest the return procedure? Why all the extra
crap?

Why all the trolling?

Why do 99.99% of your posts consist of you, talking crap?

What makes adam so angry?

Re: Not Genuine Anymore, what to do
If you truly run a large IT shop then you have the phone number(s) of
someone at MS who can get your problem fixed. Why not call them instead of
complaining here?
