really really noob question.

How do you find your authorization code?
I have an UMPC (everun) and its in a language I dont understand well.

I went travelling with it and something happened after going through an airport scanner and I had to system restore it.

That was easy, but now I think its asking for an authorization code.
(its asking for code consisting of 7 groups of numbers)

Ive never been asked for an authorization code before.
How would I find my authorization code??

Thanks.

Im typing this really quickly ... I have no time but does anyone know a non-toll free number I can call to reach microsoft activations??

Im overseas and I want to call them via skype or long distance call.
(Skype doesnt do toll free I think and same with calling cards, if Im wrong Ill find out after work today ;) )

Thanks for any and all help :)

When you go to activate, if it doesn't work, you will be prompted for a location and can choose a number local to you if required, otherwise you can select USA and call their toll number.

Hope that helps,
