XP Home SP1 activation after Oct 10, 2006
I just bought an OEM copy of XP SP1 Home. I can't use SP2 because of software incompatibilities. I'm presently running on eMachines restore discs (eMachines-supplied Norton Ghost images), but I was planning to use the OEM install disc the next time my PC needs a reformat. I've been searching for hours and cannot find any info on whether or not I'll be able to activate this OEM disc after the SP1 end-of-support date of October 10, 2006. Does anyone know about this? Anyone have any links? Any help is appreciated here.
Tom
