    Hello everyone, today when I started my computer I got a message that I never received before. It says Windows Activation Required but I have been using this OS for almost a year now. It gives 3 options one of which is to activate it, but when you do that it follow by saying "Activation key you have typed is incorrect" when I didn't type anything. Did anyone else get this problem it's very strage this happened after a video driver crash this morning. Please let me know thanks.

    --- Nvm I just re-entered my product key that I found on my Sticker and its working normally again. Strange how it mixed up the key somehow when it crashed :/
