FallenPaladin 0 Posted November 11, 2002 I just bought me a MS Gamevoice system and am currently registrating it on the Microsoft Homepage. Now MS wants to know my PID or serial no. . Which one is meant? The one on the paper-cover of the software-CD, the one on the bottom of my control pad, or another one? It sucks, I already tried all of them and still can`t register. Do I have to write the code with the "-"s ? E.g. 1234-5678-90 ? Damn registration, they say look under help and info, there you get your PID. Which help is meant?? Aaaaaargh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
advocatexxx 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Yeah, I bought Sidewinder Precision 2 joystick and when I tried registering it via their online system it wouldn't accept my PID either, so I said screw this. You get free 90 day phone support (albeit not toll free), so don't register it until you have a need to phone their tech support. They'll register it over the phone with you if you haven't registered it already and your 90-day support will begin from that date (just say you bought it the day before when you call them). I spent a good hour on the phone with a Microsoft tech guy trying to find out why my new joystick won't get detected. Can you believe he told me: "Because of the metal base plate the joystick uses very often a static occurs. I'll ask you now to shut your computer down and unplug/plug your joystick USB plug 20 times to get rid of any static". Can you believe that ? In the end I ended up getting a replacement from the store, not to mention long distance phone charges for calling all the way across nation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallenPaladin 0 Posted November 11, 2002 No one? Guys, I don`t want a PID, I just don`t know which one the guys from Microsoft want from me. I even tried my Win98 key Another question: I have the Creative Inspire 5.100 surround system. Is there a way to switch from surround system to headphones by a button or so. The manual says that works with the Line Out, but I have dozens of wires under my desk that go to my Audigy gamer and to my subwoofer. Has anyone with the same speaker system maybe a hint for me?

FallenPaladin 0 Posted November 11, 2002 Oh, you were faster, advocatexxx. At least I`m not alone with my problem. Damn MS. They want me to register and I want also, but they screw it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
