Hey,
Sorry for the typing ... I have a broken hand.
Anyhow, my 64bit Xp expires in Feb ... so not waiting to the last min. I
downloaded the software with a new key and noticed 2 Changes....

First ... I have had several reformats in the past with the original disk
version my Microsoft Key board (wireless) would not let me f8 to accept the
agreement. The new downloaded version was fixed, works perfectly.

Wonder what other changes have been made????

Hello,
There are no changes to the download unless you were running a beta version
prior to this.
Run Winver and what does it report?

From what you describe however, if you are booting from the CD and pressing
F8 with a Wireless Keyboard, I suspect that a BIOS update could also affect
this behavior. Have you updated your Bios in past 4-6 months?
You don't mention the second change or I missed it?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Winver: Version 5.2 (build 2790.srv 03_sp1_rtm.050324-1447
I've done sever reformats due to bad software combonations with x64...
No bios updates that I can remember....??? No.
I'm sorry... the second was the F6 to load the sata drivers... I didn't
catch F6 in time and it asked for the drivers.
