Well you've waited this long another few hours to get your disk in shape won't hurt! Of course we'll all be shattered if after that it still doesn't work. I hope you'll agree that working at web's length we've tried hard to help you and if this doesn't work you'll need to go back to the start, de-install your copy programs, re-install them in the sequence I indicated in my post on Windows XP and see what happens again. Remember to note your various unlock codes.
