Does anyone have a spare un-used license?

or, where would be the best store to buy windows xp from?

a friend recently gave me xp, so i installed it over my 98, but when i punced in the huge product key, it told me it has been instaled to many times.

and i lost me ancient 98 key, so now am screwed.

guys dont buy a new key. just call windows and tell them all u've done. if it was all legit and u didnt install on more than 1 computer then they will give you a number to punch in and guide u thru the installation. ive had this done many times and called microsoft many times for this number.

hope your this helps :goflames:

XP pro has much more robust networking capabilities, and some more advanced security features that home does not.
