Actually kain i got a question for u...I have the disc that i got with my new comp and i bought a second computer and i formatted using the same cd key and it wont let me use the computer for more than 30 days cus it makes me register so it forces me to reformat every 30 days.

thats because you registered the key. if its the professional edition use fckgw-rhqq2 yxrkt-8tg6w-2b7q8 thats the one that i use

lol, dont look at me, your the one that fucked it up. i have used one single xp disc and installed it on numerous computers with the same key. just dont register nothing.

Re: i need windows xp help
 

you're having that problem because its home edition, which sucks.

registration and activation, two different things.
