Hello , I have a laptop in wich was pre loaded with XP Home Edition. Since it was wiped and a OEM XP Home edition installed, I have tryed to activate and download my updates that im fully entitled to. But im told i dont have a valid key. Im confused I bought a laptop with serial , (payed for the xp licnece), reinstalled the same version of xp and now it refuses to activate me. I feel extreamly ripped off by Microsoft in a big way . Could any one explain why then have thrown another customers support down the drain after cashing in. And how i can get around this problem to download all my updates i deserve. Any help will be exelent Thanks Guys+Gals
