| Re: So I have windows XP professional x64 edition aah. well, buying it would be a good idea  . either order it from somewhere and input the CD key, or hunt around on the microsoft website for something 'Windows Genuine Advantage' which you pay for and itll give u a CD key and post you a CD sometime later.

| Re: So I have windows XP professional x64 edition I once posted a free link to it. you just had to sacrifice your other xp. there are lot of ways around this though. like running dual boot xp and upgrading the second one

Validation is not currently supported for this version of Windows or for this non-Microsoft operating system. It appears that you are using an operating system that is not currently supported by the validation process. Only the following operating systems are currently supported: * Windows XP Home Edition * Windows XP Professional * Windows XP Starter Edition * Windows XP Media Center Edition * Windows XP Tablet PC Edition * Windows Vista So what do I do now? Call microsoft and tell them I want to make the evaluation version permanent? Last edited by madcat75; 07-11-2007 at 02:19 PM. | |

| Re: So I have windows XP professional x64 edition you are an ungrateful BuTCH. I posted that because I spent about 3 hour trying to find that link for you, because I knew that there was a place where you could get it for free. Well when I found it, I found that it had expired. since the forum had been upgraded you can't find old posts. but at least I had tried. you can't make an evaluation version permanent. I might have gave you a copy of my xp 64 corporate if you weren't such a Duck
