            That sounds right pcombo, I did untick a few things and then got the reactivation when i restarted the computer. Hammyman my sil put another 1 gb of memory in a couple of years ago, is this the same thing? Told you i wasn;t savvy with all of this. Tottally hopeless.
 Donny(sic) how will i post logs, will i be able to copy and paste. Can't do that with the startup menu.
 Sorry to be so btuse, am trying to learn and people on here are a big help. Thanks everyone.

 Thats great,at least i know i haven't done anything drastic.:TThe following is an extract from my course material for MCSE course (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer), hope it explains:
 " [FONT="]Windows XP periodically checks your system to verify a valid installation. If you alter your system substantially, you may have to reactivate Windows XP.[/FONT]
 [FONT="]This will not happen if you change only a couple of components (e.g. if you add additional RAM or change your video adapter), but if you change more than four major components, be prepared to reactivate Windows XP."[/FONT]0

 Have you followed the instruction in posts #17 & 18?
 Fix these:
 R3 - URLSearchHook: Yahoo! Toolbar - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Companion\Installs\cpn1\yt.dll
 F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe
 O1 - Hosts: 74.125.45.100 protected.maxisoftwaremart.com....
 What was the point of deleting the logs??? Honestly....some people. 0 0
