Re: XP CD key question
No luck here neither.
When I try to change it to my relative's key, its says the there was an
error performing the operation, that the key might be invalid or mistyped.
That's with keyfinder 1.51
Correct me if I am wrong, but version 2.01 doesn't the "change key" feature
anymore right?
Thanks
