I have a user who brought their computer to me because they can't activate
Windows XP. They try to do it via the net but it says it can't connect
(which I know 100% the connection is good). But it just logs them off.

Would rather not have to wast 1/2 my day waiting for MS to pick up the line.
Anyone have any ideas.
 
Chris,

You have wasted more time posting here than you would have spent on the
phone with MS. It takes 5-8 minutes activating by phone. You just enter the
code they give you and it will give you a pass code if it cannot verify you
will be sent straight to a tech and then you give them the first set of
numbers they verify and ask you a couple of questions and give you your pass
code. It's easy and quick. Good Luck,

Joe

Last time I did phone activation about a month ago it was 13 minutes from
start to finish, not quite half a day. You would have been done by now.

I hear that some police officers can be polite while they frisk you too.

How can you just accept being accused of being a pirate until you prove
otherwise regardless of how long it takes to be frisked?
