validation of windows x-p

[Richenstony]

while i was upgardeing my cpu today i ( WHICH DIDNT WORK) i come accoss needing to validate windows all over again , but i got no option at all to enter a license key lke i did last time just a little blue star in my x-p task bar saying windows not active :S , so i was wondering how i would go about valdiateing it lol

My options in that little blue star are : valdation failure detials , purchase a genuine copy of windows , and change notifcation settings.

I will be posting something intesting in hardware in just a min .....

You should be able to validate your copy simply by clicking on that icon in the system tray.

Okay then...

If you can navigate with your IE browser...go here:
