Re: Genuine Windows XP

As I see it, if you do in fact have a pirated copy, your only option is to
buy a legit copy, unacceptable or not.
It is not Microsofts responsibility to replace illegal copies sold by
irreputable vendors for free.

Hi Jupiter, the first link basically says that I have to purchase a new
copy
of Windows. That's unacceptable to me because I already paid for Windows
to
be installed in my pc.

The second link asks for the disk or a receipt. I don't have a disk and
the
person who made my pc 4 years ago was a friend who passed away last year.

Thanks for trying to help.

Denise

If it is truly pirated, whoever took your $ did not have Windows to sell.

My pc was made for me about 4 years ago. The person who made it is no
longer
available to answer questions about it. I receive the messages that
say
that
my Windows XP Pro is a pirated version. What am I supposed to do? Pay
for
it again?
