Windows update problem!
Hi
I have had (for a few years now) a corporate edition of XP Pro on my laptop which has worked with no problems and has been updated to use SP2. Last week, I tried to install the Antispyware software (as I assumed that it would get through the validation process) but, yes, you guessed it, it failed as it apparently uses a MVH (can't remember what that stands for) key. OK, so it will let me carry on using windows, but will obviously stop me from getting access to certain updates, but I'd like to re-install XP pro, so was wondering if anyone out there had a copy of XP pro (not corporate) that I can have as I have a proper key (which does not work in Xp Pro corporate) for it, so just need the software.
I don't think I'm asking anything 'wrong' here, but if the admin think so, please accept my apologies and do with as you see fit (i.e. delete!)
Regards
Martin
