Thanks for your response, I do appreciate it.
I'm not sure if you mean when I get the 'not genuine microsoft' message or
when I try to install the newly purchased XP Pro, but unfortunately in both
cases no number is given.

So, validation failed due to a blocked bulk license; office tests out
fine.
What is the solution for this? I should add that I went out and paid
through
the nose for a new XP Pro, but it won't install. First it gives a message
that this version can't be upgraded, then it goes to a blue screen and
loads
tons of files but stops, giving a message that my hard drive is missing or
corrupted. I thought that was bizzare (presuming that on a machine without
a
hard drive I wouldn't be able tot use the 'net, type this message etc.) so
ran the diagnostic. All tests, quick, SMART and comprehensive passed.
Pretty
peeved that a previously fine system suddenly becomes 'not genuine' and
that
the purchased XP Pro (not cheap!) - which the shop won't replace or
refund -
didn't fix the issue. Now what do I do?
