| That was a quick 6 months  you must have changed the settings in your bios. You can upgrade over the top of the existing installation or do a fresh install. That's the only suggestion I can give you. Upgrades work pretty well with xp. I've done it 3 times in the last 2 weeks due to motherboard changes and I've seen no drop in performance. Also I've never had to call Microsoft to reactivate.

|  Got it Fixed I had cleared the bios following an o/c attempt. Changed the date from 01/01/2001 or whatever. Reset the date in bios and reinstalled only to find that I had activated/registered to many times. Had to fdisk and reinstall then cal for reactivation key...........42 numbers. Holy ******. Took me no time to do it but the fooling around with reinstalling etc was a total pain. No more o/c'ing till the final version is released.
