Do you have a registration key for the XP on your system or is there a sticker on the side of your system with the reg key and the version of XP installed?

Firewall problem is something to do with the services and I am checking into that.

BTW I don't work for Microsoft either. I am a volunteer who is disabled and have been doing this for almost 14 years now.
I enjoy helping others and I have to ask per the Terms of Use on the board.

OK at this point we have a problem now.
Per the TOU

We here at GeeksToGo will not assist you with issues relating to copied, pirated, or in any other way stolen programs. It is a direct violation of our TOS (Terms Of Service) to offer any assistance in this matter.


What this means is that I can no longer assist in this problem. I'm sorry but when a member joins they agree to the TOU on the site and that includes myself as a staff member. I can suggest you contact a Moderator or Administrator and have them clarify this and if they let me know i will continue with the assistance. Again I am sorry but I must close this topic pending a review by the above staff members.

rshaffer61 is correct that we cannot help you with a pirated version of your software. If you wish to contact Microsoft and make your copy legal, we can then assist you further. If you would like further direction from us in how to make your copy legal, we can help you with that as well, and then fix the rest of your issues.
