Parfait BINI > Hello Parfait, It has been a long time since I did anything with a Microsoft distribution, but I believe from memory that XP takes a reading of your system at registration time, and then refuses any further additions to that system, yes, even unto a RAM upgrade. I believe that they implemented this so that it would make it difficult to put XP onto more than one system. There was a big stink about the level of arrogance involved in dictating how people were permitted to employ their own property from memory, and I think if you ring the operator on the number provided on your install CD that they are able to make some configuration change which will permit you to use new hardware upgrades that you have purchased for use on your own machine in conjunction with the operating system that you have also purchased. But other than that, I don't have any advice to offer. Perhaps you might like to try Debian? Debian isn't arrogant at all. To start off with Debian I personally would advise using Knoppix or Libranet. If you search for either of those two terms with Google you will achieve the kind of result that left windose behind for me some time ago. I will never go back.
