i recently bought a computer that evidently has an illegal copy of win vista… and i do not want to buy a product key. I would rather keep win xp, which came with the computer, and the product key is on the sticker on the side. But i can’t find a CD anywhere and i can’t seem to find anything helpful on the net. Any suggestions?

win xp problems


(as in displaying the windows logo with the blue bar running across the bottom). When it finally does start though, it’s really quick with no problems. This happens everytime it restarts and even after a fresh install of winxp with nothing else on the hard drive. What can I do? I’ve run spyware and virus scans and it found nothing.
