is your version of XP, licensed as in you purchased it?... Mine wasn't some guy I bought this PC from thought he was being 'slick' by selling it w/ XP Pro on it....
Enuff to say I went out and bought my own license and CD. Now all I have to do is figure out how to register it w/out having to re-install everything! |

that won't work , he has to call ms
his installed version of xp will not have the activation option to do that. I would strongly recommed that you clean everything off your hard drive and install the new version of xp that you purchesed. any more discussion on this matter will surly get this thread closed |

The FAQ is here in case you havent seen it already: http://forum.pcmech.com/misc.php?s=&action=faq
I suggest you call MS and explain the situation. |
