    i've been googling all day and even searched on here and cant find anything!

    i read somewhere about holding alt+10 but nothing..

    i even paid £13 for a recovery cd of a website that seems to not work on windows 7,

    i basicly insalled windows 7 from the acer upgrade a while ago and a program i use didnt work with it,i never found how to do it, but some how i just i restored back to vista, but i reinstalled windows 7 last night, and it wouldnt activate i guess you can only install it once, lol.. but to save the bother im trying to restore back to vista and finding it impossible the files are there... but cant access it! in anyway i try.. i can access it via the My Computer as i read somewhere about changing its ID from 12 to 7 still no joy!

    i hope someone can help!

    Regards
    Martyn
