Heres my problem, I bought XP Home about 8 months ago, installed it, used it for about 4 months and then my computer crapped out on me. I didn\'t have the money or time to build a new computer so I just slowly bought pieces here and there and a few weeks ago got it up and running. My problem is that while I was without a computer I installed XP on my mothers comp. And when I installed it on my new comp and tried to activate it, it said I have reached my activation limit (I activated twice on my comp before it crapped out on me because I got a new HD and did a fresh Instal after like 3 weeks). Is There any way around this? Like if I call Microsoft will they just laugh at me and tell me to go to hell? I have the box and reciept still if that makes any difference. Also, what if i just don\'t activate it? Will it stop working after a certain amount of time? Any help would be appreciated.
