Hey guys,
I just installed winXP home edition on one of my older dell laptops (and it's running great). But it keeps telling me that I have 30days to activate or it will expire. any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Too bad XP isn't like Vista's reduced functionality mode. If I didn't activate my copy of Vista I could still get 1 hour of internet. With XP you have nothing starting on the 30th day.
