[QUOTE="dalison, post: 617518, member: 48611"] Sorry Craig - not sure how to handle that with Safari. Now that 3.1 is out are you experiencing the same issue? I'm really just poking around in the dark on this one. The most likely reason your SP1 activation key would not work is if the company you got XP from sold you a bootleg version. MS does offer a program where they will reissue you a new activation key if you were sold a bootleg copy but you will likely need to provide proof. Do you still have the SP1 installation CD? Can you install with that instead of SP2? If so, you should be able to get SP2 through Windows Update. You shouldn't have to pay $65 to use something you already purchased. When I've called MS support for things like this they will ask for a CC and may even charge it but will provide a refund if it's customer service related like this. Good luck man... [/QUOTE]
