Hi - you will likely get more help if you compose your newsgroup posts as
though you were trying to get a good grade from a very picky 10th grade
English teacher. This post is incredibly hard to read, Mr. Faulkner. :)

a) If you were having such frequent problems with your computer that it
required a full reinstall every 4/6 mos, either you had bad hardware or were
not taking precautions / securing your computer / practicing Safe Hex - did
you ever contact IBM to confirm a hardware issue?
b) If you're using the same product ID you used before, I find it hard to
believe you would now be told it was a 'pirated' copy. Are you sure you
entered the key correctly, and are using the right one (the one on the
sticker on your computer, presuming your computer came with XP)?
