Well had an issue with my laptop (wouldnt 'talk' with the other pc's in teh house). Well after searching the net for a month looking for a fix, decided to just reformat it since its 2 yrs old. Well reformatted it with the original XP Home disc it came with. Then I threw in teh SP2 update CD I got from MS.
Well after I got the wireless card software installed I went to activate it. Well teh key didnt work. After 2 or threee times double checking my typing, I finally had to call in. Well it came to me AFTER that I should had activated it BEFORE I put SP2.
Question is, if I reformat it again with SP1, can still I activate it online and then put SP2 on after? Or is that key null and void now?
