I've got a dual Opteron system, so I decided to download the 64bit WinXP
trial from Microsoft...

I ordered it, got the download link in my email, downloaded and burned the
CD... Now during the install it's asking for a CD key. Where is it? There
isn't one in the email I received, and I don't see one on the CD anyplace.

HELP!

P.s. Any 64bit XP newsgroups yet?

Link works fine here from Calgary on a Shaw broadband connection... Of
course I'm running Firefox as my main browser.

If you were redirected then you *DO* have spyware or something loaded. If it
was a matter of the wrong site coming up to start with then you could try
and blame your ISP's DNS or Proxy server.

In advanced internet options turn off third part extentions. If you're
running WinXP run the SFC /SCANNOW command.
