Um ok i didnt know you wernt suppose to put your copy of
Windows XP onto more then one computer. I had gotten a
second computer an older used one and it didn't come with
software so i decided to install my copie of windows XP
onto that one also and network them togather. Well now i
have retired that computer and i formatted my other one
and started it over and i find out i can't activate my
copy of windows XP anymore and i dont know what to do i
dont know of any phone numbers to call. I can't afford to
purchase a new copy of windows XP the one i have came
with this computer. HELP please i havent any idea what
to do am i sol or is there some way i can recover from
this

Thanks bunches

You have removed Windows XP from the older computer?
And now because of that installation, you are having Activation
issues.
As long as Windows XP has been removed from the older computer, choose
the option "Activate by phone"
Call the displayed toll free number, done in about 5 minutes.
