not that i've ever heard of...someone correct me if i'm wrong, but me thinks he'll have to get a nice, shiny new OS cd/dvd?

Hello,

PurpleSkys is very correct LOL! Microsoft does have free downloads, but not free Operating Systems. There are hundreds of thousands of XP keys out on the net which usually provide nasties like trojans and viri, so don't get one of them! Now would be a good time to experiment with a new OS like Windows 7 or use and OEM copy of the OS which are usually lower in price. If you opt for that; be sure you backup your system and transfer your settings to the new OS. You are in need of what PurpleSkys said: "get a nice, shiny new OS cd/dvd" Good luck with your new operating system.

That's exactly what I just did for me & Purple....we got 2 new computers & I purchased 2 copies of Vista Business....it came with upgrades to Windows 7 Professional....so now we have 2 nice shiny dvd's each :)

I would in no way even attempt to use an OS that has been "fixed" by someone. There are so many detrimental things that could occur. OTOH; if the OS you have is an original trial, MS will gladly activate it once you pay for it. Never, ever use an OS that is not genuine. If you are looking for a free OS; try Ubuntu or the thousand other free linux OS out there.

All you have to do is ring M$ in your Country and report the Pirate Copy of XP installed on your System.

After you do this and provide the necessary information to M$ they will send you new Product to replace the Pirate Copy.

If that program is running in your country of course.
