[Jonesy82]

Hi fellows techs having problem with this. i brought this windows xp home
edition at a flea market for what i would say for a good price $45.00. i
install it all the way but will not except the product key on the
certificate of authenticity. called microft for a number but they want me to
buy it again. can anyone help me out there with a product key number. i'll
really apreciate if you could i have 5 more days before it lock up or buy. i
hate to buy and i cannot find the guy who sold it to me.

Looks like you got bit by the "counterfeit XP CD" scam. Can you see
any kind of holographic markings on the centre of the disk? If not
then its probably a copy made using the normal CD pressing equipment.

About all you can do is buy another license for it, IIRC its not that
expensive. And you might be able to make most of that back if you
report the seller to Microsoft and get them closed down.

Hmmp;

Y'know I try not to use pirated or cracked software, and I do really own 98SE
which is what I use, but nobody's perfect. Nuff said.

Anyway, this guy might've gotten screwed, BUT if the copy he purchased was an
OEM version, that might be the problem.

Important, getting the embossed CD and the original COA. If you got this it's
legal, and you can tell by the serial number in control panel that it is OEM,
on mine I know it's OEM and I knoiw I cannot call Microsoft. This was reflected
in the price I paid. Full retail is a different story.
