Try this:
Reboot and go into safe mode again. Disable your firewall and reboot again except this time go into safe mode with networking. There is a possibility that your firewall is stopping the system from connecting to Microsoft's web site and authenticating your copy and activating it. When you restart after this then restart in normal mode. If this does not fix the problem then:
Because of the confusion with the disks the only true and legal option you have is:
You can backup your data and do a complete system reinstall using the Packard Bell Recovery cd.

Well great to hear that I thought it would but seeing that you have a PB and a OEM recovery cd I was worried.

Now is the camera issue resolved or is that something we still need to continue with?
How about the microphone problem?
