my xp needs to be activated but when i put in my key it says its not valid, i need to find a crack or something, i dont think theyre allowed on the board so if someone can pm that would help.
Just to give you a heads up, Microsoft will be cracking down on crack keys within their update system. If it finds out you have a crack cd it will not let you update critical files/system in your computer. I don't know if they can even take it further...i.e: render your xp system useless.
All I got to tell you is that you really might as well buy another copy of Windows Xp or contact Microsoft if your cd key doesn't work. Xp is only around 130 cdn.
