OK so I just started up my laptop and apparently I have 7 days to ACTIVATE my operating system, PRESUMABLY before it locks me out. When I click "yes" to activate now, it says I've already activated! So when these 7 days are up is it going to realise this or lock me out... hrm I think the former 

Any help? Thanks!!I suggest contacting who you bought the computer from.Ah yes well this is a legit copy of XP however my computer was assasinated by VIRUSES and I had to reinstall, which obviously didn't work out too well with an OEM copy. HP didn't give me a recovery disk and I couldn't make one myself because Vista was an epic fail. So I found a key on the net figuring that I'm not buying another operating system

And the key worked.. until now. Is it actually activated and it's just a question of making it realise this so it doesn't lock me out? lol Quote from: Sophie.annelies on April 28, 2010, 02:20:06 AM
