Greg, I feel your pain. Been through that myself, but fortunately on a weekday. Not to sound trite, but if you really need to get the work done ASAP why not remove that 1 Gig RAM for now? Maybe your activation will be okay if the hardware is put back the way it was.

I added a gig of ram, and jaws comes up wanting to be re activated. So I say wat the heck, sure go ahead, and it says that there's a prob with my net work or something, and my computer fellow says that's not the trouble, that I'll need to get with freedom scientific monday and get a new activation key. So I figure well jee I'll run jaws in demo mode, but then caketalking tells me I can't work with those scripts in sonar until I pay for them. I guess I'll just get the whole thing handled on Monday unless someone has any thoughts on what else I might do. http://www.gbrayton.com
