Hi Billy, Sounds like the system is past it's 30 day period for making life easy doing this. If he is sighted, he should follow the on-screen prompts, which will walk him through the process of either activation over the internet, or telephoning Microsoft in the U.K. If he's blind, he'll need sighted help to do the above.

George, what I can make oot by talking with him on the phone. He had bought this computer from another friend of his, and when he turns it on instead of xp home loading, it asks him to activate windows xp home. He doesn't understand how to activate windows. Hope this is of help, this is waht he is telling me, Dinky Doo InMate200 Billy ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Bell" <george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2008 1:45 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Activation?
