The Windows XP Product Key is 25 characters, which the above in your post is not. In any case, you would not want to post a valid Product Key on a public forum because it will get stolen and then you won't be able to use it!Product Keys are tied to the type of installation media used. IOW, a Product Key for an upgrade version of XP Home will not work using installation media for XP Pro Full. If you don't have the correct installation media AND Product Key for it, then you would need to purchase a copy of XP from a reputable online source such as Amazon.com or NewEgg.com.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

ok thank youi beleive it was an oem upgrade from win98it was very strange that a few days ago the 'window' ics etc got taken and i could not login to internetbut also last nite on my notebook had trouble to login because of ip addy

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what your original question has to do with your Internet issues. If this is an unrelated problem, you'd need to provide information about how you connect to the Internet, what IP addresses are in use, the malware state of the comptuers, what operating systems (and versions/Service Pack levels) are running, etc.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

the unability to connect and or run my printer due to files missing that are required is the reason that i did a re-instal. my security area on control panel was shut down due to 'files' being extractedmy anti virus was Avira and also i had IO360my IP should start with 255 but it shows 64. which is Dawson Creek, and Telus as the providermy connection is cable supplied by Link from Sask. canada

So what happened with the reinstallation? I thought you couldn't activate Windows. Or are we talking about different computers? You need to get the activation issues ironed out first. Then after you activate Windows you will need to install drivers for all your hardware. As an aside, the easiest way to share a broadband connection is with a router.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

yes the reinstal was good but the verification was notas far as sharing with someone else that is that distance is not supposed to be, as soon as found i left message with my service provider giving them the latitude and longitudei did an authorization scan and copy, here are the results Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0):-----------------------------------------Windows Validation Data-->Validation Status: Blocked VLKValidation Code: 3Cached Validation Code: N/AWindows Product Key: *****-*****-3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3JWindows Product Key Hash: Ro/Y7HENE9CfW7lW+QtlNbYQEE8=Windows Product ID: 76487-640-8365391-23214Windows Product ID Type: 1Windows License Type: VolumeWindows OS version: 5.1.2600.2.00010100.2.0.proID: {F19E5DF9-82DC-4D52-A40B-D9F2B34E80E8}(3)Is Admin: YesTestCab: 0x0LegitcheckControl ActiveX: Registered, 1.9.42.0Signed By: MicrosoftProduct Name: N/AArchitecture: N/ABuild lab: N/ATTS Error: N/AValidation Diagnostic: 025D1FF3-230-1Resolution Status: N/AVista WgaER Data-->ThreatID(s): N/AVersion: N/AWindows XP Notifications Data-->Cached Result: 3File Exists: YesVersion: 1.9.40.0WgaTray.exe Signed By: MicrosoftWgaLogon.dll Signed By: MicrosoftOGA Notifications Data-->Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002OGAExec.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002OGAAddin.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002OGA Data-->Office Status: 109 N/AOGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002Office Diagnostics: B4D0AA8B-543-80070002_025D1FF3-230-1Browser Data-->Proxy settings: N/AUser Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32)Default Browser: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exeDownload signed ActiveX controls: PromptDownload unsigned ActiveX controls: DisabledRun ActiveX controls and plug-ins: AllowedInitialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: DisabledAllow scripting of Internet Explorer Webbrowser control: DisabledActive scripting: AllowedScript ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: AllowedFile Scan Data-->Other data-->Office Details: <GenuineResults><MachineData><UGUID>{F19E5DF9-82DC-4D52-A40B-D9F2B34E80E8}</UGUID><Version>1.9.0027.0</Version><OS>5.1.2600.2.00010100.2.0.pro</OS><Architecture>x32</Architecture><PKey>*****-*****-*****-*****-VPK3J</PKey><PID>76487-640-8365391-23214</PID><PIDType>1</PIDType><SID>S-1-5-21-2052111302-1965331169-682003330</SID><SYSTEM><Manufacturer>System manufacturer</Manufacturer><Model>System Product Name</Model></SYSTEM><BIOS><Manufacturer>American Megatrends Inc.</Manufacturer><Version>0608 </Version><SMBIOSVersion major="2" minor="5"/><Date>20090507000000.000000+000</Date></BIOS><HWID>E4593C070184E07C</HWID><UserLCID>0409</UserLCID><SystemLCID>0409</SystemLCID><TimeZone>Pacific Standard Time(GMT-08:00)</TimeZone><iJoin>0</iJoin><SBID><stat>3</stat><msppid></msppid><name></name><model></model></SBID><OEM/><GANotification><File Name="WgaTray.exe" Version="1.9.40.0"/><File Name="WgaLogon.dll" Version="1.9.40.0"/></GANotification></MachineData> <Software><Office><Result>109</Result><Products/><Applications/></Office></Software></GenuineResults> Licensing Data-->N/AWindows Activation Technologies-->N/AHWID Data-->N/AOEM Activation 1.0 Data-->BIOS string matches: yesMarker string from BIOS: 14330:ASUSTeK Computer Inc|15A50:GENUINE C&C INC|B2C7:HITACHI, Ltd|B2C7:HITACHI, Ltd|B2C7:HITACHI, LtdMarker string from OEMBIOS.DAT: N/A, hr = 0x80004005OEM Activation 2.0 Data-->N/Ai am at a stand still if my 'boot' disks dont work.yes i got the motherboard disk and ran yesterday and got connected but my scanner/printer isnt yet and the instal disk i beleave got crackedi will call microsoft and see what customer service does or what options are there
