Your Product Key should be on a sticker somewhere on the machine (unless you had a Full install disk - not a manufacturer's one). Use that. -- Noel Paton CrashFixPC Nil Carborundum Illegitemi www.crashfixpc.co.uk

Well you are / will shortly be left with a crippled PC. To reinstall win you need the disk with an unused key If retail version of winxp, and you have proof of purchase http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326246 If a preinstalled version supplied with your PC contact the PC maker Otherwise buy a new winxp cd with its licence
