She's back!

Wifi craps out.

Buy new computer.

Transfer most of my personal stuff from old puter to new puter.

New computer doesn't come with 25 digit registration key for Microsoft Office.

Don't know where to find a 25 digit registration key so can't use Microsoft Office.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Request DSL service.

Wait two weeks for modem to arrive.

Wait another 24 hours for service.

Pay $50.00 a month for service.

Buy wireless router.

Secure wireless router.

Lock self out of secure wireless router.

Reset wireless router.

Secure wireless router.

Lock self out of secure wireless router.

Get pissed off and go smoke a cigarette.

Now working off unsecured wireless router.

Yep, I'm back.

Welcome back, Pixie. I hope you had a good T-Day. As for your problems with finding the registration number, I'm sure you've looked all over the packaging but that's where it usually is. If you still can't find it, perhaps you should ask the place where you purchased the 'puter.

Sorry it took so long for me to get over here... I'm with Kathy when it comes to the key for your Office stuff. Or you could check out Microsoft's site and see what they have to say. (Probably - sorry you're SOL...)

I feel your pain with the router. I just got a new one - it only likes ONE of the THREE computers it's supposed to let onto the net. GRRR!!!! If I can't get my router to work after tomorrow - I'm going to return it... yeah I'm that annoyed right now.

Hang in there Pixie - sometimes, even when everything is the same on the card and the router - they still hate each other. *sigh*

This is probably a dumb suggestion, but my reg key was on a tiny sticker on the side of my computer - on the side that faces away from me as it's set up, so I had NO idea it was there until I called company that sold it to me and they told me to look for a sticker on the side of the computer :-/
