Ok, How to use windows Xp on another PC without buying another
Window software

With your present windows operating system

Step 1- Open the windows ;c drive click on windows
Then click on windows , system32 folder.

Step 2 - From your PC , system32 folder, copy WPA.DBL and

boot into safe-mode.
If you get to safe mode, open your windows files, system32 folder,
