I recently reinstalled XP on my computer and i didnt have my product key, so i had to use just a random one that wasnt valid. so i want to know what happens if you dont activate your windows account. It tells me i have 2 days left to activate it. But also, it says i need a valid product key, so if anybody has one that they can send me, please do. It would be greatly appreciated. =]

George, no one here is going to give you a key. You need to use the one that came with your CD or your computer. If you don't have either then you will have to either buy a new copy of XP ($70 - $80 retail) or call Microsoft and get a replacement key from them (around $30 I think).

I figured nobody would haha. But i decided to try anyway.
I lost my Cd key so ill just call them.
But also i just wanted to know what happens if you dont activate it within 30 days?
I only have 2 days left and i dont want my laptop to just stop working.
so if anybody could answer that question please.

If you do not activate with in 30 days (or so) Windows will no longer boot up.
You will not be able to use Windows.
