| 128016 | 2003-03-14 08:46:00 | I want to upgrade my graphics card, fit TV tuner, and fit rw/ cd from my old PC. Will xp prof allow these number of changes? What should I watch out for when upgrading? thanks |

| 128018 | 2003-03-14 10:29:00 | Just a little aside. Australian PC magazine suggested that it would be a good idea to alter the OS settings to mobile rather than desktop. By doing this adjustment it permits you to do more than five alterations to your PC. From memory I think it increased it to about ten alterations before the OS spits the dummy. |

| 128020 | 2003-03-14 11:41:00 | If your copy of XP is legal, and properly activated, however many changes you make is unimportant - all you need to do is contact Microsoft in Auckland and they'll give you another activation code to reactivate XP and you're away flying again. Mike. |

MS and the Hollywood guys are now trying to link terrorism to the major pirating guys. |

| 128022 | 2003-03-15 00:52:00 | FYI When they talk of changes, it applies to an upgrade after which windows is restarted. For example, if you change out vid card and motherboard and RAM, then next time you start XP , it is considered 1 change. Two or more components are considered a major changes. | Pheonix (280) | ||
