Same thing happened to me. For once I bought real fully licensed versions of XP and Office 2003 and installed them on my existing PC. A few days later I decided to upgrade my motherboard, CPU, RAM and hard drive. XP wouldn't update to SP2 and office wouldn't register. An easy call to MS (yes, easy and quick) resolved the issue. I almost fell on the floor because I expected a long wait and a hassle. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
