Thanks for all replies (except of course the sarcasatic
ones! As a teacher I find it extremely rude how some people on here reply to messages with such biting sarcasm and rudeness. A little knowledge goes a long way, and as a new XP user, I am know totally in the know about the new security/piracy rules since some of you were kind enough to take the time to answer my question. Thanks! Some of us on here are just in search of honest answers to our questions (as I was). I am off to purchase another copy of XP Pro for my second computer today. Thanks, Tiger -----Original Message----- You must purchase a copy of XP for each machine you wish to install it on. With the exception of corporate settings where you get a license to install some certain number of copies of the OS on some certain number of machines. "Tiger" wrote in message ... My computer crashed last week with Windows XP Pro on it - my former computer tech loaded Windows XP Pro into it. So, we got a new computer with brand new Windows XP Pro. We now have 2 computers networked together in our home, and so as we installed our new Windows XP Pro into the old computer tonight, we got an error message saying that we had already installed this particular version. I totally understand piracy rules and the like (we buy all of our programs), but I thought that Windows XP was like old versions of Windows in that you could use it at home on several computers. Anyone have any suggestions for us? We can't afford to buy another Windows program as we just spent a ton of money on our new computer, plus a few small upgrades to get the old computer up and running. Plus, our other version of Windows that we paid for last year is in our crashed hard drive! The only other version that I have at home is Windows 95 and that is not an option as I have tons of digital photos and movies of the baby that I work with. Please help, Tiger .
