sapiens74 0 Posted February 4, 2002 I just installed my new MB and CPU out , and had to reinstall all my stuff. Needless to say I had a problem activating my windows xp products. Anyone else had this problem? I was on the phone with MS for like 3 hours Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted February 4, 2002 No. I have a legal copy that doesn't require activation. Bummer man. Share this post Link to post
sapiens74 0 Posted February 4, 2002 LOL I bought mine, I really do try to be legit. But talking to an impatient MS rep for 3 hours isnt very fun. I mean I'll buy another copy, cause all the left over parts I'll need one for my lan rig Share this post Link to post

BladeRunner 0 Posted February 8, 2002 The "test phone call" I made lasted all of about 3 minutes. I only phoned up to see what the experience was like as I needed to compile a report on WinXP and more specifically the PA. 3hrs?? So, what exactly were you chatting about for all that time, the weather? Share this post Link to post

Same here, installed new mobo & CPU, had to reinstall XP. Phoned MS, took no longer than 5 minutes - when they asked why I was reactivating, I told them the reason, they seemed happy with that. What axactly was the problem that took 3 hours to solve? It sounds like yours was an abnormal experience, not the norm! AndyF Share this post Link to post
