Hello,
I just have a quick question in regards to windows xp. I have found my systen to be a little unstable lately, and i would like to do a clean install. However, i do not want to have to use up another license that we have. I would like to do a clean install, and everything be the same. I don't want to have to call microsoft and go through re=registering it and like i said, use up another license. Thanks in advance for any assistance in this matter. Have a good night and God Bless. Dale

there is also a file on your C drive that you can copy to a floppy or network drive that after installing XP you put that file back onto the C drive and you dont need to reactivate.
I'll see if i can find it but if anyone knows what it is post the name please.
