Call 1-800-MICROSOFT.  When you call, be sure to have the product key number handy to give to Gates' support staff.

Regards,
DocDo not bother if this version of Windows XP is illegal. Microsoft activation support will know.I do have the product key number as I used windows xp cd BUT it was already installed on another. Would that make it illegal and if I don't activate windows what will happen after the 30 days is up?Was the CD Brand new?  has it been used before?  You can choose not to register it... No the cd wasn't brand new and yes it has been used before.  If I don't regisistor what will happen?  Can I still be able to use windows xp?Data link>>faqs>>http://aumha.org/win5/a/wpa.htmIf it is still installed on another computer it would be illegal to use it.

If it has been - totally removed - from the other computer then you can use it.The computer that has it on is in storage and not on line .  Same goes for me as I am not on line.  So because the other computer is PUT away would mine be illigal? Quote

Unless Microsoft knows (IE: You activated via the phone or Internet), you can safely use it again. Just do not use it on more than one computer with Internet access or the chances that it will become blocked increase.

Thanks Raptor but still I keep getting "you have so many  days to activate ETC.  So what happens when the 30 days are up?  Just keep it off line? Quote

After 30 days your operating SYSTEM will no longer be able to fully load and you will  be prompted to activate.

In other words, your operating system will gain control over your system and lock you out.Now you have me all worried now!  If I don't activate I will be locked out and if I do activate microsoft will know itis illegal.  So what do you suggest?   Quote
