Windows XP not genuine
Comments

Hi,
This can happen if major componets such as HD, Graphics Card etc have been changed. XP sommetimes asks to be reactivated. I would'nt bother with XP anymore as its no longer supported. (No downloads or new updates)Save your £95 and wait for Windows 7 (Oct 22 release date)
Good luck!
Mine updated at 5am this morning (Friday)Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p

Contact Microsoft and report them, then go to the supplier and tell him that you reported and that you will take it back if they will refund you your money0
