Windows Update is not letting me install Windows XP SP3 and nor can

are some sort of restricted user permissions and I am logged on as
an Administrator. Can I reregister Windows XP Home Edition in my name? I
did find a
form online at Microsoft where I could change ownership or
reregister XP but I did not know what I should write for the old
owners name. I have since found there is his name on the computer, and I
can
even email him if I need to.
What can I do about this?
I want to register the XP Home Edition in my name anyway. Shall I
try to find the Microsoft webpage I found before where I could try
to change the ownership and attempt to register XP in my name or
what should I do?
Used computer...
*You* should take the installation media (hopefully it is original (stamped)
discs) and format the system and install Windows XP cleanly. Update the
hardware drivers, patch Windows XP, install your applications and security
software and start like this computer is yours - because it is now.
Don't take the chance that anything at all is a mystery to you - you know
what went on the system, etc.
