[QUOTE="Mookiemoo, post: 510077, member: 39976"] Hi, New to this so apologies if I am asking something thats been asked before (I have searched and googled before posting). Trying to install windoze XP using either paralells or VM ware - not bothered which. Install goes okay until I get to the part where it checks the windows key. It says it is invalid. The windows I am using is an original XP SP1 install. The licence key (or keys as I have tried two) I am using are genuine keys as the discs installed on Dells (since gone to the PC graveyard in the sky). I am at a loss as to know what to try. I did think it might need SP2 but surely that would kick in at the start of the install and not half way through. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
