    Bought a nice laptop


    It was cheap, great deal as far as I am concerned...
    Lenovo, high spec...
    Not getting much joy out of the seller though. I spent four hours getting it all right as rain, drivers, display adapters, OS etc..
    I have installed Vista Business, but for the life of me cannot read the COA on the underside! Fuck it!
    I don't want to spend any money if I can help it, but is there a good way of getting a code? Has anyone got a OS unused that they want to part with?
    Short of a bit of CSI and a magnifying glass I don't think this is readable...

    Google "vista business activation crack" and go from there. Free as fuck.

    You willingly installed Vista?!?!?!
