Hello msnfers Guys today (all day til now) I was looking forward on doing a fresh install of my Xp home media dell oem cd stripped with Nlite. ''head wrecking'' I did what most people would do backups and what have you, in the end I got it done, til now after it installed an activation icon in the right bottom corner has appeared. When I try to activate it with the key that came with my xp cd it is displayed as invalid. How is that, it must be the SP3 that I slip streamed with N lite because, this has never happened before. as I have done this several times only this time i have slip streamed SP3. Is there anyone that has had this problem, does anyone know how to fix it, I have Googled this but nothing has come up in relation to this problem. Thanks in advanced
