Purchased computer with XP Home installed one year ago.
One month ago, motherboard failed and was replaced under
waranty. Service was provided by contract agent, not
manufacturer.
Subsequently, on booting for first time, activation
screen appeared. However, the 25-character key was
different on screen than that on the Microsoft seal on
the computer.
Have tried both the new key and original key for
telephone support. Only response is the installation code
is not recognized. Please contact manufacturer.
I have read about the activation program and have a
reasonable understanding. What corrective measure will be
necessary to activate without problems?
