Hi folks,

Although  I'm using a legal copy of XP, I don't recall activating it!  I 
have automatic updates enabled, and   have received the "Windows Genuine 
Advantage" update.

When I recently tried to download Internet Explorer 7, I was returned to 
the validation page a couple of times.

Question:  Is it necessary to activate Windows first, in order to  get 
beyond the validation screen, and start downloading the latest version of 
Internet Explorer?

If I activate Windows, How much information does BG want to know about me, 
apart from Name, rank and serial number!

all help welcome.

Thanks,

Eamonn
