WinXP Blues

Hi,

Did you activate your winXP after you install it and prior
to installing your service pack? If you didn't, that may
explain the message about pirated software. I'd start over
again with the upgrade install, this time activate it, then
install the service pack and you should be okay. Good
luck.

Sleepless
 
Thing is, I did activate it, I think, and I went back to
the city...that store is gone...how crazy is that....I am
not buying software from chinatown anymore....What can I
do?

"I am not buying software from chinatown anymore..."

Sounds like a plan.
 
LOL! According to MS's graphs of the pirating of Windows, Asia is at least
twice as high as the second leading continent. I would contact the local
police, and tell them about it. Since trafficking pirated software is a
serious offence, they might be able to track down the owner(s) of the shop,
since there's gotta be records of the shop somewhere.

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.
