Laptop hoster will not re-install anymore

[NATHAN]

Hi ,you may recall me having all the trouble with my desktop not re-installing hoster ,which is all ok now. I have had to reload windows onto my laptop cause of massive error messages ,and now i have fixed windows my hoster will not re-install. Once again it thinks im useing a different comp (if only i could afford 2 laptops ,he he) ,it is a laptop everything is built in so there cannot be anything different on it except for a new wirless network card. Can you please reset the reg for my laptop. I tried to ghost the hardrive image before whipeing but it would not recognise my external hardrive.

many thanks nath.

p.s. sorry to be a pain agian.
only the second time i have ever had to format my laptop.

Nathan,
You must run all of the Windows Updates from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com before you try to Install it. This is your problem.

Also make sure you are installing version 3.006 instead of version 2.209, which you just tried to install. Throw this old version away only use the 3.006 version, as it has fixes to this issue in it.

Hi , I done as you said bryan and still no luck ,it still thinks its a different laptop even though i have installed every single microsoft update. What i was wondering was when i re-installed my copy of win xp that came with my laptop, it never asked me to enter the keycode this time (which i thought was strange) could it be that it thinks its a different windows cause of not entering the keycode?

thanks nath.

P.s. If i can get it working again i think i'll have to make a back-up image of my laptop hardrive. lol.

Nathan, making a BACKUP of your entire disc, using GHOST... was what you agreed to before. It you have again reformated your hard drive and reinstalled Windows, what do you expect us to do?

Read the prior emails and Forum posts for your answer.

Ah no you miss-understand me , i have made a ghost image of my desktop pc which is all working fine ,but i never made a ghost image of my laptop hardrive. When i pluged in my external harddrive to my laptop to go and make a backup it did not want to know my external drive. So i took the risk of formating thinking to myself ,i have not changed anything on my laptop so hoster should just go back in fine. oh no no no ,i thought wrong same problem as my desktop pc used to get ,thinks i am trying to install on a different comp again (arrrr). Why does it always do this to me? Can you reset the reg for my laptop please? then i will back the drive up to dvd or something.

many many thanks nath.
