we had downloaded a trial version of windows XP pro,
upgrading from windows 98. But, XP would not display
internet pages. Then the trial version expired before we
had registered it. Now, we've purchased the CD for the
complete Windows XP Pro, but I can't load it because
nothing happens when I put it in the CD drive. When I
start up the computer it asks me if I want to register, I
say yes, but it takes me to a page that will not display.
I can access the files on the "C" drive from other
computers in the network, but I cannot use the computer
itself to do anything.

Is there a way to install windows XP or activate the
trial version through the network from another computer?

HELP!
