What was the exact number you called? It doesn't sound like you called the Microsoft support center.

http://support.microsoft.com/answerdesk/windows
According to the MS answerdesk, it's $99/session.

Phone number "1-855-292-4092" is listed as the "24/7 Technical Support for Microsoft Products" on "fixnow.us",

which is not a Microsoft website.

The "fixnow.us" domain name is registered to: Marc Haberman, 6430 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90028.

Microsoft's support site is: http://support.microsoft.com/

I called the correct Microsoft and they guided me through a new activation. They
had me put in a bunch of numbers then in an activation screen where I entered
8 sets of numbers. A screen opened say the computer is validated. That first site
I went to tried to scam me. I wonder why Microsoft doesn't closed them down. They
pose as a real Microsoft site.

Also my e-mails in Yahoo print very small. Is there a way to make the font size
bigger. The Microsoft people told me I could install Win 7 prof on another computer
as long as I remove Win 7 from the 1st computer and if I do that call them and they
will get it activated.

I'm guessing you are accessing Yahoo mail from a browser. Pressing ctrl+0 should reset your zoom. It sounds like you pressed ctrl + scroll wheel by accident.

Yep, that's one way to do it.

My netbook is running so good after I replaced the hard drive and
operating system I am glad I spent $65 for Win 7 prof full disc and
$70 for a faster and larger hard drive. I cost me $135 to get a new
computer. Well it runs like new. I learned something. If you have
a very poor running computer that is not to old the way to go is
what I did if you know how to do it.

Good to hear the upgrades are working so well for you. Thanks for letting us know.

I just ordered new battery for my Lenovo netbook S10e. It is a 9 cell 11.1 volt, 7200mAh rechargeable battery. When I get it should I do anything
to make it last longer like draining the initial charge to 0 then do a full charge, or anything else?
