Hey Guys...here's a new one on me. I just finished installing Nero on my computer. After the install a Microsoft message comes up after the initial boot, that my software has changed significantly since I activated my XP. And tells me that it must be re-activated within 3 days. So I went back with my GoBack program and restored the computer before the install of Nero...then stopped asking me to re-activate Windows XP. What gives....does Microsoft now want to check your computer each time you install a Non-Microsoft program???? Screw them. Although the Nero program belongs to me...I don't think I should have to report to Microsoft on my software....am I right? -Ed- E.
