Dear Forum,
I moved totally to Ubuntu about a year ago and have been going strong until a client told me I have to use Windows, particularly Outlook to be part of a colaboration project.
So I purchased Vista and Office installed a Virtual Box.
Then my laptop crashed totally. Because it was under guarantie I just took it back to the shop and exchanged.
When I reinstalled my Virtual machine from the ovf file I get the Windows message "windows must be activated following a hardware change".
How come Windows can detect the new hardware from within Virtual Box?
