I bought this PC off a friend, unfortunately without any of the software that came with it...
As soon as I did an update, the pc came up with a message telling me that the copy of XP I have installed isn't genuine... Everything still works on the pc and I can still get on the net, but I can't update which means I cant install the software for my MP3 player as it needs service pack 1 or later.
The comp itself came with XP home, the activation sticker is still on the side, what I think has happened is someone has tried to instal a copy of XP professional...
I could get another copy but i don't want to have to lose everything I have on here...
Is there any way I can take it back to its original state without the software and without losing all the programs, info and music I have saved... Or get it to update at least...
Its a Packard Bell, don't know the model number sorry
Thanks
