I know this isnt related to anything consistant with this board, but I need help finding a working OEM for Windows XP Home edition. I've tried over 100 with no luck.
Listen if your gonna flame me for asking for an OEM dont waste your time, I cant afford XP and 98 cant run the programs I need it to. Its vital I get XP working within the next few hours, as I have 2 assignments that need to be completed by Monday....
:(

Jand that was a funny OEM you first sent me. It was only 20 numbers. THe usual OEMS have like 25 various numbers and letters. The second is useless, I'm looking for XP OEM's.
Windows Xp Home Edition (US English Version)
Thanx anyways.

Those codes are generated from your hardware and codes stored on microsoft servers so you can't just type in an activation number from anywhere. The number is unique to your hardware.
Office XP is a bit different cause you might have had a corporate copy that doesn't require activation.

There are special activation codes that do work without MS getting all huffy...
Handy to know people who bulk buy MS software (..we get sent every single piece of SW MS write/release...OS, SDKS, msdn..over 250 cds a month it seems...)...

I never connected to the internet to activate my copy of WinXP. I just punched in the code that came with it.
