nLite program installed on tower

[given up]

I was given this as a referral so I hope someone can help me. First off, I am not computer knowledgeable but am learning very quickly I think. Anyways, I was using my husbands computer about 3 months ago, I had put Windows XP Home Edition on his after I had put it on mine; yes, I know that was stupid!! That had crashed my husbands tower, so he received another tower and it has Windows XP Media Center Edition and a program called nLite installed on it; question one: is the Media Center Edition something like the Professional? Second question: I have no clue what nLite is? After reading about it I am now beginning to see what it is and I am having a terrible time with it. Is there anyway I can delete nLite from his computer? Can I install Windows XP Home Edition over this program? See, this program will not let me do anything, someone else had this tower before us and put it in, so if I want to download anything it tells me to go to the eventviewer or the administrator. If Media Center Editon is not the same as Professional can I install that over this program nLite? I was reading over some of the responses to nLite usage and some of the people who are using this like it, at this time I must say I don't, maybe because I really don't know how to use it. If anyone can help me delete this program I really would appreciate it and my husband would also.

Thank you so much

[edit] Updated this post's picute to exclude the pid-code...

even though, the screenshot was made on a vertual machine's (evanuation copy),

i do appolegize for the intial mistake..

> Note to those who think of using this pid...

I always test and evaluate software with known and compromised pid's, (this is because i dont want to have to activate my private key everytime i test software (also because windows activation has a limit))

There is NO way to ever get windows update, working with it, - you'l just have to buy windows as you should...

Why? You cant generate a CD-Key from a PID.

Hello given up,

Pretty much the only thing you can do at this point is take the tower to a computer shop and have them clean it up and reinstall the OS on it. Preferrably a mom-n-pop outfit so you don't get charged an arm and a leg for the work.

Hope this helps!

Pistolero.
