HI, I bought a new Dell laptop with Vista, but had some problems and needed to dual boot with XP. I bought a genuine OEM version of XP MCE from Scan (www.scan.co.uk) and have the COA. After 17 hours, I have now managed to install all the drivers, but cannot run the activation program. When the activation popup comes appears, I click on it and it disappears. I've also looked in Accessories->System Tools, and there's no activation link there. I tried ringing for a phone activation, but gave up the will to live after 40 minutes (as I'd already spent 12 hours fixing the XP installation today) . I've installed SP2, by the way.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Richard.
