   New legal Win install over old pirated c   
   19 Aug 13 10:47:51   
   
    In mid-July, I purchased a Win 7 upgrade to Vista (for my wifes   
   machine --- I'm a die hard XP Pro user.) from Amazon.   
     Remember their return policy is limited to 30 days.   
    I installed the Win 7 and it worked fine for 30 days   
   ( just 3 days past the return period!) ,. Then up   
   comes a message that the Win 7 had to be validated.   
     When I entered the key, I get the fatal message ---   
   the Win 7 was an illegal copy!   
     I hounded AMZN for days and finally got agreement   
   to take a return -- but they just plan to send me another   
   copy. They said they were sure sorry they sold me   
   "used software".   
      So beware of Amazon software!!!   
    But  my question --- will a new copy install correctly   
   over the mess I now have??
