Hi all.

Is there anyway I can find out my OS details for when I first Activated my
copy of Windows Media Center.

Reason why I am asking.

I purchased a laptop with Windows Media center 2005 English edition. I had
some problems with it so I return it to the Manufacture. They then installed
Windows XP Home Spanish edition. I sent it back, they then installed Media
Center 2002 Spanish edition.


I have asked the manufacture to please provide me with the disks for Windows
Media Center 2005 English edition, as that is what it originally had
installed. They are saying because I live in Spain the OS must be in Spanish
and I must have purchased it in Spanish. My COA states "Windows Media Center
2005" but does not state a language. All the documentation that I have does
not state a language.

The only proof for the word "English" is, that I have is I purchased a Vista
ultimate upgrade which was an upgrade from my original Windows Media Center
2005 English edition.

Now the manufacture has installed the wrong OS language, so I cant even
upgrade to my Vista ultimate.

Is there anyway I can find out my OS details for when I first Activated my
copy of Windows Media Center. A Microsoft website. Somewhere. I need to prove
that it was an English operating system.

Thanks
