I have a very old version of Windows XP that I had to reinstall after my OS HDD failed on me. I can't activate over the internet because beleive it or not but my 7-8 year old version of windows has been activated too many times before. This is nothing new though, I have always had to phone Microsoft for aproval. Lately however whenever I call, I just get: "Sorry there is a fault.", by lately I mean for the last month. I'm in the UK and being given the number 0800 018 8354. Have they changed the number or something?

Is that not illegal?
"Sorry there is a fault."
You get this on the phone?

Yeah that's the phone response and the last guys idea is not as bad as my idea, but I'm not here to discuss that route.

As far as i know there is no # limit on installing XP...unless it's a Corporate liscense.
If this is the case you may need an XP CD.

It's a very early release of Windows XP Home (says 2002 on the cover but i'm sure that XP didn't come out untill 2003). I have a CD that was bought separatly from the computer. So I have a CD and a code.

Problem solved, sorry but I did not get a chance to try that number. Now on Vista... don't ask how.

How?

Wait til you see how Vista cripples itself...they're getting good.

Actually its doing a better job at start up than XP did. Besides its exactly the same as XP... Totaly useless untill service pack 1 came out.
Now if I can just convince it that my graphics card doesn't have 2 gig of memory... ::)

I update it with automatic updates all the time.

And that will be the root of the problem later when the VLK is blacklisted.
