"I need some help. I have read all the pages on this thread, plus the other thread for making a CD. I have tried the automatic script in cmdlines, and I have also taken a Dell Original Disk (sp1), slipstreamed to Sp2. (with confirmed SLP Key, and OEMBIOS files).  Everything seems to work great, up to the point of WGA, WGA says the machine needs to be activated. the MGADiag tool says the same. It recongizes it as an OEM SLP, etc but I can not seem to get past the activation requirement.   Windows itself does not seem to care about activation and seems to be content, until I run the MGAGiag tool, then it pops up the activation wizard, otherwise it never seems to show up. ---MGADiag Report --- Diagnostic Report (1.5.0540.0): ----------------------------------------- WGA Data--&gt; Genuine Validation Status: Not Activated Windows Product Key: *****-*****-GD6GR-K6DP3-4C8MT Windows Product Key Hash: s2kt66ZJWfV4nS1wFD5F9bxTSDw= Windows Product ID: 55277-OEM-2111907-00102 Windows Product ID Type: 2 Windows License Type: OEM SLP Windows OS version: 5.1.2600.2.00010300.2.0.hom Download Center code: 8KYN7N4 ID: 24535767-cd68-4b7a-af27-dfc534066361 Is Admin: Yes AutoDial:  Registry: 0x0 WGA Version: Registered, 1.5.530.0 Signature Type: Microsoft Validation Diagnostic:  System Scan Data--&gt;  Scan: Complete Cryptography: Complete Notifications Data--&gt; Cached Result: N/A Cache refresh Interval: N/A Extended notification delay(non-genuine): N/A Extended notification delay(un-activated): N/A All disabled: N/A Reminder reduced: N/A File Exists: No Version: N/A Signatue Type: N/A OGA Data--&gt; Office Status: 109 Office Diagnostics: B4D0AA8B-467-80070002 Browser Data--&gt; Proxy settings: N/A User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Win32) Default Browser: C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe Download signed ActiveX controls: Prompt Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Disabled Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Allowed Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: Disabled Allow scripting of Internet Explorer Webbrowser control: Disabled Active scripting: Allowed Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: Allowed File Scan Data--&gt; Other data--&gt; Office Details: &lt;GenuineResults&gt;&lt;MachineData&gt;&lt;UGUID&gt;24535767-cd68-4b7a-af27-dfc534066361&lt;/UGUID&gt;&lt;Version&gt;1.5.0540.0&lt;/Version&gt;&lt;OS&gt;5.1.2600.2.00010300.2.0.hom&lt;/OS&gt;&lt;PKey&gt;*****-*****-*****-*****-4C8MT&lt;/PKey&gt;&lt;PID&gt;55277-OEM-2111907-00102&lt;/PID&gt;&lt;PIDType&gt;2&lt;/PIDType&gt;&lt;SID&gt;S-1-5-21-1708537768-484763869-725345543&lt;/SID&gt;&lt;SYSTEM&gt;&lt;Manufacturer&gt;Dell System&lt;/Manufacturer&gt;&lt;Model&gt;VMware Virtual Platform&lt;/Model&gt;&lt;/SYSTEM&gt;&lt;BIOS&gt;&lt;Manufacturer&gt;Phoenix Technologies LTD&lt;/Manufacturer&gt;&lt;Version&gt;6.00&lt;/Version&gt;&lt;SMBIOSVersion major=\"2\" minor=\"31\"/&gt;&lt;Date&gt;20050729000000.000000+000&lt;/Date&gt;&lt;SLPBIOS&gt;Dell System,Dell Computer,Dell System,Dell System&lt;/SLPBIOS&gt;&lt;/BIOS&gt;&lt;HWID&gt;764435070184166D&lt;/HWID&gt;&lt;UserLCID&gt;0409&lt;/UserLCID&gt;&lt;SystemLCID&gt;0409&lt;/SystemLCID&gt;&lt;TimeZone&gt;Pacific Standard Time(GMT-08:00)&lt;/TimeZone&gt;&lt;/MachineData&gt;  \t&lt;Software&gt;&lt;Office&gt;&lt;Result&gt;109&lt;/Result&gt;&lt;Products/&gt;&lt;/Office&gt;&lt;/Software&gt;&lt;/GenuineResults&gt;   --- Any tips?
