So, my faulty motherboard was replaced with a new one of the same model (Asus F1-A75), now Windows prompts me to activate again and when I used online activation it won't activate saying the key is already being used in another computer. Will the Phone activate option work? What should I do if it doesn't work?

Ok, what version of Chrome are you using? I'm using V27.0.1453.116 m.

Update chrome if you have any version below V25.

the latest stable version of chrome is 28.0.1500.72 and it's always better to keep the browser updated to the latest version .. anyway, andy_65_in has fixed his issue with the pdf files.

Its a lot trouble to run GFWL games on Win 8. You always have to run the setup in compatibility mode or game will give errors while executing. :|

I tried the phone activation several times. After entering the 9 sets of code displayed on the activation page, the IVRS prompts to 'hold the line while we retrieve the activation data' and then the call terminates instantly.:-x Guys any suggestions?

Don't try with phone activation. CAll microsoft on the toll-free number nad select the option which says to tack to representative. tell them about the motherboard replacement. They will ask you the key and will provide you with the phone activation code.

Nothing works. When I select technical support option, IVRS says the business hours is between 9am -9pm and to call during this time. Then the call ends with a thank you. Can somebody do it for me. I will pm the activation code.
