If that's the case, that would be the easiest way probably to get
everything to switch to classic mode. How convenient! That is the only
way I run windows on my machines, as lean and mean as possible.

Well, with all of the bickering here I suppose I am going to end up with my
post being lots. If anyone would like to get back on the subject, there are
thosos us whoh are not experienced tchs andd who are experiencing more than
just validlation problems with WGA...I was hoping to find somes mhelp here.
AM I on the wrong forum or something? I am desperate, and this bickering has
gone on for so long. I would just honestly love to find out if you think
there is a solution to my problem or not. If I take my pc to microsft pc
center in Camb MA, does anyone think they will have a solution? They are
adept at working nwith Microsoft and other vendors...I just do not have the
money to spend on this right now and thought that the forums might help.
MaybeI shoud repost in a few days.
The one person who replied asked only if I had read other posts re
this..when in my post I already said I did..how was that helpful? WOW. I'm
more disgusted now than before. It's not an ideal or fair world, and so many
have opposing or varying opinions. What can you do? I see the addys given on
other threads where to complain nto Microsoft and must admit to my being
skeptible after trying to work with them for so many years..who can afford to
call Microsoft every time ther eis a problem? I can't. My verion of xp wsa
installed andn validated; a pc guy built my machine. I was isll at the time
and he got me one that I didn;t watn but I got stuck wtih it. There is no
tech support for it; a Powerspec.

Then go back to the PC guy who gave you something that you didn't want and
ask him to rectify whatever problem you have..
