    So you reinstalled from within windows and not by booting into a USB ect? That should have kept your licence intact.
    Microsoft prob has better support than Lenovo but I dunno I haven't ever dealt with activation issues.

    Oh and windows 10 is fine if you are using something like classic shell http://www.classicshell.net/ and ofc you can get it for free if you are a dirty pirate but you shouldn't have to resort to that.

    Because it only had a six hour timer and that was in no way enough time. Other people said they had submitted early and kept working on it later and it was fine. I did send them a note telling I was still working. I've spent at least 8 or 9 hours on it already.

    I have two tabs. .30 in one and .01 in the other. How many hits do you have done? A lot of good paying surveys don't open up until you have 1k hits down.

    They probably expected you to work on it straight through and not leave it sitting overnight. I get that a strict timer can be a pain, but they probably wanted it submitted within a couple of hours of the timer expiring at least.

    I have about 26500+ approved. I guess I should have clarified min reward for surveys. I think batches are a bit different, although maybe I should set batch minimum to at least 5c

    I caught one as well a few months ago. The work wasn't hard, just tedious. No way to get it done in the time frame. They've got to get reasonable or workers will not want to do their hits - regardless of pay, because of rejected work. I hate that for you. :(

    Around 8 last night. I worked on it until I went to bed and then I did slack off a little this morning and not get to it right away but they should be able to see I'm still doing it.

    You probably need two different scrapers if you want both surveys and batches. $0.25 will miss almost every batch out there.

    If you are talking mostly about surveys, you need to be quick on the draw to catch the good ones from your scraper, otherwise panda'ing is your friend.

    Caught the $6 mining hit and got:

    You are not qualified to take this HIT (Code #14).
    Do NOT Continue with this HIT. If you accepted it, Return it.

    Would you recommend auto-refresh? I watched a video that said not to set auto refresh, and I've been typically doing that, just manually starting a scrape whenever I checked the page.
