I bought my mother an old pc at a computer fair for wordprocessing and
internet browsing. Of course, now we keep getting the message saying
that the version of xp is a copy and so this means we can't get
windows updates. Is there a way of getting rid of the windows warning?
Is there an alternative site for updates (she's still on IE6!)?
