Please tell me.Yours Marichamy.REmail removed for privacy1 person needs an answerI do too

There is no way to deactivate XP. If it was a retail version, install it on your new computer and activate it. You should have no difficulties. If for some reason the automatic activation fails, use the telephone option and wait for a human to activate the operating system. It is no big deal. If the original XP was an OEM version, it is tied to the computer on which it was installed and can't legally be used elsewhere.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
