I just tried to download XP Professional's Service Pack1 and when I
did I got the message "Product Key Invalid" and the download stopped.
It said I might have a computer problem or an illegal copy of
Microsoft's XP.
I had just build this computer and a friend gave me a CD copy of XP
Professional. I hold him I thought you couldn't load XP except once on
a computer. He said it was OK to load it on as many computers as you
wanted, only don't register it with Microsoft.
So is that true or do I have an illegal copy of XP????? If I have an
illegal copy, can I purchase a copy of XP and re-install it over my
existing XP.
I would like to get updates to XP as well as to install future new
versions of Xp.
I do not want to reformat my "C" drive if I can help it although I do
have it backed up on Ghost, only it has the XP (Illegal Version???)
installed on it.
What are your suggestions on what I might do to find out if I have a
legal copy of XP or an illegal copy and if it is illegal, how to get a
legal version installed????
Thanks
