Register Windows XP again?!?!?!?

Post by kappage »

Just recently at a work i am currently at, i built the comptuer for them registered over the phone(took hours.....) etc.

Now all of a sudden its saying i need to re-register Windows XP, and for one I am NOT going to being Micro$oft again so they can charge 50cents a minute to my mobile. How can i shutdown this service, and note it says i have two days to do it in or it will cease to work.

Now to me ive done it once im not going to be doing it again..

How can i shutdown the service??

you can't and doing so be any other means would be illegal. Call from a work phone if you don't want the charge or activate online.

Im down at a glass 'factory' they have no need for the internet, and i was jsut more worried about the time it was going to take to ring up and register, because remember Time is money
