Windows XP activation.

[Sunny.]

Well i reinstalled my windows XP which my laptop originally came with. Worked fine for a month or two. Now I get the windows not genuine?

Anyone got a patch or activation thing for it?
Some1 posted it before but cant find it

Thanks, +rep

Follow follow the instructions for activating. You will need to phone M$. Since it's genuine they will be able to sort it out with you. You have a sticker on it somewhere that looks like this right?

Or you can shove an ethernet cable in, connected to your router for online activation, much faster =)

Yeah, but he's already online which is why it thinks it's not genuine. It connects to M$'s servers with the WGA check thing and thinks he's a pirate. If he wasn't online this wouldn't happen.

Oh yeah sorry, phone them up then, you can go through automated or via some pakistani person.

Yeah phoning them is the best way if you don't have the sticker.

Becuase he has REINSTALLED XP And therefore his key would have expired?

You have a legal license. Why be a pirate when you can legally have it?

@above, it doesn't work like that. He just needs to ring M$ and it will be sorted.
