Although I would like to help, I have no way of knowing that you are not trying to crack someones PC.

To the best of my knowledge this forum along with other reputable forums do not support security cracking.
Sorry. You may try to contact the seller.

ok mate understand the problem is the company gone under with the credit crunch ! ill try and battle on with it and see if i can fix it thanks paul

Thanks for your understanding, and yes, it is against the rules here and any reputable forum that does require proof of identification.

But beyond that, you said,

it got xp pro loaded on it

...then you said,

i dont have a xp disc

If you don't have the disk, then you don't have a legal copy of Windows anyway. That means you need to take the money you saved by buying a used computer and using it to buy a legal copy of Windows. Alternatively, you can use one of the many versions of the very able and *free* Linux alternatives.
