Would make for an interesting legal problem if it ever came to that. They just contacted me via email and will send a call tag. They say the COA tag is legal. I ran RockXP and saw that the COA that is installed is different that the one on the tag. I am looking for info on altering this data so I don't have to ship it out. |

I can't get any updates from Microsoft because they tell me the volume license is blocked. Have you never seen the 'Genuine Advantage' updates installing in a Windows XP machine? |

Sounds like they'll work it out one way or the other so I guess the vendor isn't so crappy after all. Just oddly slow so far. |

I've heard of it but not experienced it. I wasn't aware it blocked updates, I thought it just gave a nag message about being an unlicensed copy. Mind you, if you have SP2, I doubt it needs much patching. Graham |

Sorry, I've been too busy to be on my computer the last week or so. There were 105 patches that wanted to be installed since SP2 and I opted out of 9 others. |
