Re: Help with kids computar

Hi Mandyboo

I do the same thing on my kids computer as it is not on the internet as
well. Unfortunately every 30 days I have to reinstall the windows xp as it
expired. That's how I do it, and I know it is a pain.

I doubt my kids computer can be hooked to the internet, I just have it for
them to download their games in it. Also I do not have a copy of windows
2000. I do however have a copy of 98, but their machine does not work right
with 98 on it at all. It use to have 2000 on it when it was bought, 2nd
hand. But also a very little hard drive, and needed to make room for their
games!!

So, my advice is format it and reinstall xp and everything else back on it
again!

Hope that helps!

activated,well It has already activated on my,all i want is for the
kids to be able to play their games how do I get around this? Thanks


If I understand correctly what you are asking, you have a single copy of
Windows XP which you have installed on two computers and are asking how to
get around the activation requirement on the second.

Coming to a Microsoft newsgroup to ask for help on how to pirate Microsoft
software isn't the smartest thing in the world to do.
