you know when you have a legal copy of windows, can you only activate i a certain number of times?
this guy called in to 'fix' my pc formatted about 4 times and activated it each time, and when i try now it wont let me because its maxed out.
is my legal copy of windows now completley useless?

No, you can activate it by phone.

Nah, just phone them up and tell them what happened. You'll get some bored Indian Computer Science graduate working in a call center to give you another.
I've had to do it a couple of times.

Last time I did this, there was an automated 'phone response using some half-baked challenge-response. Basically, the version of XP I had produced some inordinately long number (16 digits? Longer?) which I had to enter on the touch-tone 'phone. Once that was confirmed, the Microsoft automated hell machine read me another long number that I typed in to activate Windows.
