I bought this computer at a computer show. The vendor had
already installed Windows XP Professional. I have
misplaced his # and there is no listing for the business
& now when I try to use Windows Update it says I have the
wrong key code. What can I do to correct that?

You'll need to purchase a "full retail version" of Windows XP
Professional and use the new Windows XP CD and Product Key to
perform a "repair install".
