How do I activate Windows?
I recently re-installed my operating system because I was having some problems with my laptop. After I re-installed it, a balloon saying I had 28 days to activate windows came up, and stated I should click it. I clicked it, and nothing happened. How can I activate windows, or how can I get that balloon to come back?

of course, you can only activate if you have a genuine version of Windows. and you have the CD key entered.
there should be an icon in your taskbar (where the balloon comes from)… that looks like a picture of keys. Double click that to start the activation process.
