Have had to reinstall my laptop operating system when the raid 0 glitched, so changed to individual disks, and reinstalled. Have installed win 7, and re-installed, a couple times because deskscapes started the infamous explorer crashing, and app crashing behaviors. Put a support ticket in, but of course it's the holidays. My re-installs were dirty, and to no avail, as the deskscapes errors persisted (and it was definitely something with deskscapes - when I uninstall it, everything works fine = office 10, steam and other games, quickbooks, outlook, etc,). Finally, decided to try one more time, with a fresh format and reinstall, then installing deskscapes with minimum drivers (just intel chipset and network card drivers) and no updates. So, at last the moment to run deskscapes (which I had no doubt should work, as it worked flawlessly on the same system previously when it was in raid configuration).....and first, can't write product activation, then maximum activations reached. Can't express how frustrating that is. Could someone in support please help?
