hello jeff,
first of all i have never heard of an xp version that expires. do you have the original disk xp came with? what you have is most likely a problem with the registration of the xp program. you can only load xp on one computer which then has to be registered with microsoft. if you use the same disk on another computer it will not allow you to register it and will expire in 30 days, you need to contact miscrosoft if you are the original owner they will authorize you to reinstall the program again. this is how microsoft makes you purchase a xp program for every computer you own. very clever of mr.gates eh.
