Freko,
I think John is referring to how time you have left before you license expires. Until you solve the problem I would set the date back (say 7 days) when expiration looms (within a couple days to be safe).
I think you've got a funky OS installation. The best option is not pretty....
If your XP disk is a full version (and not a upgrade) then I would consider an OS reinstall
. Of course, that entails reinstalling all your apps, too
.
I don't know what else to tell you. It sounds to me like they installed a pre-release version of XP. If so it's possible your XP CD also fits that description.

Jim > Did you retype your sys info or copy & paste? Look at "CPU: Intel Pentium III 44 MHz MMX". See the 44 MHz? If that were true you would be waiting days for XP to boot. Something is still not right with your setup. Maybe it has something to do with Product Activation?
Maybe you guys can trade XP in for Win2k. Just a thought.
