Thank you all - it was an illegal copy - all is now legal, but being a "stupid boy" I did not save anything to disk before it was done - have to start all over, which in a way is a good thing because there was a lot of stuff that needed deleting anyhow.
A friend of mine who bought his Computer from a very well known organisation last year is now having the same problem. Like me XP was already on his PC when he got it and he never received any disc etc. When he attampted to legalise it they asked him for the registration key (just as Jangar had to do), but he did not have one. Contacted the store where he purchased it from and they could not help him!!!!
Can someone help me in this regard please - if one buys a PC from any of these well known stores and Windows XP or whatever is already loaded into the PC, are they company obliged to give you the disc from which the download took place?? I am fortunate in-that I have resolved my problem, but John is doing his nut about the fact that he bought his PC in good faith and now has no registration key to legalise it.

Always enjoy life - and remember there is always someone worse off than yourself - treat others as you yourself would want to be treated.
