You'll be asked to insert your XP CD into your CDROM drive.

When my system start up i have a message in the welcome screen"windows genuine windows validation" . after i click 'resolve now or later ' icons i will enter into the desktop . i have a 'star shaped blue coler ' icon in taskbar right side please helo

every time when istart up , in the welcome screen screen i have "gunine windows validation " after clicking 'resolve now or later i will enter into the desktop . if i clicking resolve now i will enter into internet connection.

I have 'star shaped blue icon for this

If you hover your mouse pointer over this icon, does a small yellow text block/window pop up? If so, what does it say?

Is that a legal copy of Windows? That is, do you have an original Windows disk that goes with that computer?

You don't have an XP Professional CD? Only an XP Home CD?

How did you manage to install XP Professional without a CD?
