Thank You,
The advices was some what helpful.I did in fact have a clean install of XP Home on my computer,though it was the one I gave my niece.I had been trying to use that product key with my other computer which has XP Pro on it.I had put the wrong one on my computer,thinking it was XP Home I had on,instead.See what happens when you own to much software and computers.Maybe I should start a retail store.Have a good week.
