Hi all,
In January 2007, I had my old Windows 2000 PC upgraded with a new hard drive
to an OEM copy of Windows XP. The people who did it activated it and I have
had no problems with Microsoft.
The system isn't like how it used to - really slow, keep getting told by my
Anti-Virus (Prodigy Anti-Virus) that I have a virus, etc.
I think it is because I have too many programs, and 4 user accounts.
I am thinking of starting again, by formatting my hard drive, re-installing
XP, and only using one username (I think I've found a way to keep all our
documents secure)
I use Virtual PC 2007, and I installed XP Pro on it, activated it, and it
worked fine. But when I re-installed it (On a different PC, same specs except
for a different processor) it said something like "You have reached the
maximum times you can activate".
So I am worried that if I do re-install, I won't be able to activate.
Does anyone know if I can or can't re-install.
Thank you in advance for your time and help
Harry
