Windows XP demands it has to be re-activated because too many hardware changes had taken place.

1. Windows XP asks to be reactivated
when some hardware parts are changed - like RAM, motherboard, etc. Nice, huh? :thumbsdown:

4. I know. I just didn't expect something so friggin' mundane to trip it...
I mean, a presentation wireless mouse is NOT a hard drive, processor, or system board. :eyes:

Or moving the computer 5 feet and adding a 2nd monitor. :silly:

I'm amazed more people haven't had problems... but knowing about Vista, I'm sticking with XP until I get Linux on there - which may be a while, I use the PC for multimedia and DVD playing. x(
