Ok, I am MORE than frustrated!!
I have two computers, both with Windows XP Professional. My husband left
his work and had some issues with software with them and it appears that they
did not include his XP CD. Now, as we had the same version of XP on our home
computer, I did not think it would be too much of an issue, as I had his
product key on his computer......how wrong I was. I have now formated his
computer (laptop), and tried loading XP Pro using his Product key and my
CD....it accepted the product key no problem and I was able to do a few
critical updates, but no matter WHAT I do, I CANNOT update to service pack 2.
It "freezes" on verifying product key. What am I supposed to do? There is
no way I can get his original CD either, as they are a bunch of jerks and
told my husband the computer company still had it.......which I think is a
lie!!!
Successful help would be gladly appreciated
