Have you tried calling MS? I've heard they're more lenient with laptop owners because laptops tend to come with an MS operating system, where anyone can buy parts to build their own 'non-laptop' computer. I'm still voting for buying a re-install disk from Dell. I just checked out their site, when a re-install disk is purchased with a laptop it's only $10. I can't imagine they would charge too much more for a replacement. Dan |

there is another solution to make it work, but I shouldn't post it here. I did it using a legal copy I owned on the computer it belonged to, just didn't have internet, and didn't want to deal with the phone. Not sure if you can get in trouble with it, but let me know if you really need the solution.

yeah, the version that came with my computer was the "Dell Version" of Windows XP, so the Serial Code only works with the Dell disk. Could you PM me your "solution" details? thanks

if you have the cdkey, you could probably call microsoft with the cd key and they'll probably give you another product id or something to enter in there. problem solved. |
