When that happens you are given a toll-free number to call. Just do so
and activate by phone. It's quick and easy.

Repeat the process with internet disconnected; it will give you the number.

hey again just called them (microsoft) and they wouldn't give it to me(something about xp being licensed to the machine the product key is off)but i put my dad on and he told them what was going on and they gave him the key and we punched it in (not litteraly of course) and now i have windows xp home working and activated.


thanks for the help guys

(p.s if at first you don't succeed put your father on the phone he will tell them vista is a piece of **** and they will give him the code)


(p.s.s if you are 40 years old remember there is your dad out there who is is somewhere between 50-70 years old and he will go wipper snapper on there arse.)
