[quote name=\'######\' post=\'114810\' date=\'Apr 30 2006, 02:31 PM\']Assuming you have a legit key, you need to make sure the date is set correctly.  If it's set too far in the past, activation will fail.

If it's not a legit key, then you need to buy xp pro.[/quote]

its the cd that came with my dell tower.
i cant check if the date is right, because i can't even log on http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
