I guess I'm not clear on exactly how far you are getting. The 'Windows not authorized' message only comes up after Windows is running,Could you be very specific about what the computer does do, and where you are stuck?
Hey Matt...
After I hit DEL to enter CMOS and make sure the drives are recognized I hit 'save and exit'.
The Windows splash screen does come up briefly then goes to a prompt stating "Windows was unable to start".
Then gives me the option to 'repair' or 'start windows normally'.
The 'repair' find snothing specific but at the very end of the 'details' option the dialogue says the problem is likely due to hardware changes....but, nothing more defined than that and does not tell me anything about 're-authorization' itself.
I never get to Windows actually opening.
Sorry if I didn't communicate as clearly as I had hoped....I'm daft sometimes.
