Re: XP Pro Validation

Leroy YOU ARE A STAR.
After all of the posts on here you came up TRUMPS. No one at MS or on here
must have know about a legit update tool, I certainly didn't and Microsoft
knew exactly the problem I had but they didn't tell me either. I'm very
annoyed with MS as it seems they are only after MONEY and to hell with
Customer Service.
Sorry about the outburst but after all of my correspondence with MS, they
knew my exact problem, and for future information all I had to do was enter
my legit software Key into the Update Tool and "Bobs your Uncle"
Once again,
Many Thanks Leroy.

Sirs,
I recently got a messge saying that my copy of XP Pro was not genuine, I
have found the cause, about a year ago I had a HD failure and took my
computer to the local shop where he fitted a new HD and transfered files for
me. Uknown to me he put on a copy of XP Pro which is the copy in question. I
have a genuine XP pro disk but when I load it in it says that the copy on my
HD is newer than the one on the disk and if I proceed then I will lose files
and documents. I paid for the upgrade disc a couple of years ago and really I
don't see why I should have to pay another £100 because of a mistake by a
computer shop who, incidently has ceased training. Is there anyway in which
to solve the problem which doesn't involve loosing files/programs or costing
me more money.

Regards,

Dave
