Windows Registration

[Guest]

When I first started up the computer, Windows XP prompted me to register my Windows XP operating system. I checked the box that I wanted to do it later because I wasn't connected to the web at the time. Now that I have web access, how can I initiate the registration process?

Start > Run and type: REGWIZ /R , and hit enter to
start the registration wizard.

Thanks for your reply. When I tried this, I got a message which said something like "the registration wizard cannot run because information that it needs is either unavailable or incorrect". Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Note: There is a "space" between the Z and the / .

Or open XP's "Help and Support" and type: REGISTRATION , and hit enter.
Click on the article titled: "Using online registration", then click on the
"open registration wizard" which is shown in the right-hand window.
