[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1018590, member: 325666"] So ..I finally found something to fill the space on the hard drive.. I have a copy of XP based Windows Media Centre 2005 .. Tis genuine ..and has the key which was accepted during the build .. so far so good.. It readily accepted the system drivers ..and graphics card drivers .. and eved the x card drivers .. so all good .. ..or is it ? Every now and again a nagg pops up saying I have 30 days to activate ... No probs I thought.. its genuine so activate away .. BUT ..activation refused as there is no response from the activation server.. I get it .. It's old tech ...but it was bought and paid for ...so activate it Microsoft ..ya money grabbing motherfkkrs .. I'm not expecting support .. I'm not expecting updates .. but I am expecting what I paid for ..not to switch off in 30 days .. Any way round this ? Anyone ? [/QUOTE]
