The COA is attached to my computer and the System information says XP
is registered. The OS was installed during the recovery process about a
year ago, and now Microsoft says it's not a valid copy. I did
everything required during the recovery. I can't install IE7 OR media
player 11 of course. I have the windows XP validation code (25
characters) but I can find no way to enter it. Can anyone help? Thanks.
