I just replaced a MB (same model different version) its up and running without XP reinstall I get a pop up telling me of hardware change need to reactivate windows

I have reinstalled before with this xp disk and activated it OK

But with a MB change what would be my best options to get it activated successfully.

Thanks for any help
 
According to Microsoft a new mobo equals a new PC. So if it doesnt go through the online activation you will have to call the Toll Free number.
 
You'll have to call in to activate it. Tell them you reinstalled Windows (no more details than that...because to them: new motherboard = new computer, which = you needing to buy another copy of windows).
 
Yea tell them you updated the "Firmware" and bang you got the message to re-activate.
 
Thanks I was afraid thats what I would here :cool: I guess I will gave Bill a call :(

Thanks for the heads up
