I haven't seen that one either. What's the exact message?

Did you just install this over a pirated version of XP or is this a clean install?

 

its a full install i may be being stupid here but i know xp needs 128 of ram now would i gewt this problem if there was just 64 of ram in it ?

 

I think you're deff asking for trouble with only that little RAM, but I wouldn't have expect you'd get the message you're getting. As Freddy asked, give us the exact message that's coming up on screen ?

 

Hi again guys , the actual mesage reads as follows

A problem is preventing windows from accurately checking the license for this computer
Error code: 0x80070002
Now im thinknig it could be a computer problem rather than the xp disc code problem ??

 

Here's a couple of links that may help:

Link 1

Link 2

Link 3

Just drop the exact error code you quoted above ito Google - you'll pull up loads of results.

 

Dont ask me how i fixed this guys but instead of doing the long install i did a quick one and hey presto ive got no problems any more, but thought id say thanks for your help, it wasnt wasted heers fellas

 

Glad you sorted it, but i would recommend at least 256MB of RAM for XP. When SP2 came out it really did hit the resources......

Thanks for the links Gav

 

I couldn't agree more, XP with 64Mb RAM is going to be sooooo slooooow

 

Yeah, i set up an old P2 which was the minimum spec going by MS for SP1 when i was doing my A+. With no programs at all on it was as slow as a Austin Maxi
