Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / August 2008Register XP
Have just set up XP on a Compaq LapTop. During set up I elected not to register at that time as my ADSL line was not set up. Now I cannot work out how to register. The online help tells me to click a register icon in the task bar but there is no such icon there! How can I register?

Go to Start menu, Accessories, System Tools to 'activate' XP.. > Have just set up XP on a Compaq LapTop. During set up I elected not to > register at that time as my ADSL line was not set up.

As you have said, registration is unnecessary. Malke SignatureElephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
