i have recently had problems with xp causing me to have reload sevral times.
This used up all my activations and now i have 7 days to activate. I can
phone them but i dont particuly want to. I cant email them as the copy came
with my computer. Is there another way to contact them?

Used up all my Activations >? - no such thing, unless you are
speaking about Web based activations. Unfortunately, there
is no alternative but the phone activation process. When you
call don't attempt the voice recognition process but go directly
to speaking to an agent.

Next time you install don't immediately go online and Activate,
but wait a few days until you're satisfied with the install/setup
results.

You'll need to "activate by phone" to obtain an activation code.
There is no other alternative.

As R. McCarty and Carey Frisch have told you, you need to phone. Why don't
you want to? It's quick, easy and anonymous.; there's really no downside to
doing it.

Out of options you indicate interest in doing and have the ability to do
right now based on what you are saying, there is no way to activate Windows
XP. You might try Linux instead.

Now if you want to give Microsoft a phone call, Windows comes back into the
realm of possibility for you.

Your just causing yourself tension - activation by phone is painless -
however of more concern is your following statement "...i have recently had
problems with xp causing me to have reload .." - If you have not resolved
the problem issue you need to do so - if you have - make the call!!
