Is the anyway you can help me out -- Child's Play-- It says an error after i submit my token i have no clue and its very important to that i get root lol if you know what i mean .

Could it possibly be because i downloaded a command prompt , only because my windows xp doesnt pop up with a command line option when i shift+right click. PLEASE i really need help im so frustrated and i dont give up lol. thanks guys

Make sure you copy only the code, not the empty space. Token doesn't like the empty space
