Hi Eamonn,
Yes, you must first activate windows before downloading anything that
requires the new windows validation check. This is because Microsoft doesn't
want to allow downloads of a certain type to be downloaded till you prove
that you are the owner of the Windows XP product.

Subject: [vicsireland] Windows XP activation question
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
