Windows
Anyone else having trouble with Windows Update on clean installs of XP? Just did two new PC's with OEM and they wont do windows update.
Any help? Or anyone else run into this?

That's because you have to get a new activation number.
XP registers the content of he computer it is being used on with MS.
If you assign an already registered copy of XP MS thinks it's a pirated version and won't let you update.
see my thread in this forum from April or May when my old puter puked and I had to rebuild another.
