I bought a version of XP from school for five dollars because that is the cap on how much i will spend on microsoft products. So i loaded it on my old computer and everthing was as good as could be expected.... I bought a new computer and loaded xp i entered the "activation code" and it is still telling me that i need to activate in 3 day (it has been counting down for some time now i am just lazy) does anyone know what is going to happen and if there is anyway around this. I tryed to call billy bob center but was put on hold for longer then i cared to wait. Is all this stuff on the web about it being cracked true? is it worth my search?
