activated but i called the activation place and it says it is a non genuine
windows version and it will not conect to the internet so does any one know
any thing to activte it so he cn still play on it.

Why did you do that? I'd suggest reinstalling using the CD and key
supplied with his PC.

I see you're back. On how many computers did you use the same product key to
install Windows XP Pro?

Make model of "bros" computer? What media/product key was used for the
reinstall?

Microsoft told you it was a pirated copy (non-genuine). Ask your
parents to buy you another legitimate copy of Windows.

This is not a pro-piracy group.

One copy of Windows with ONE product key, on one computer. You don't
necessarily need more than one CD, but you WILL need a different product key
for each computer. The keys are what you pay for when you purchase Windows,
not the disks.
