But the question was what else happens when you do the repair install, rather than just forcing xp to bring up the offline registration/keychanging menu. :unsure:

Not all of us are that comfortable using a manual registry work around, to force WPA to change the key . I admit I'm lazy. I don't mind editing the Registry . But why when this works and Is so simple my grannie could do it .

So you did as I suggested peat moss?

Ya zapjb I can't wait to share it . Like I said in an early post I must of gave 30 copies of my old 640 one away to friends and family . This time tho I'll just give them a slipstream copy and make a different key . Why keeping using the same one. They give to 10 friends and so on and so on ! :) I'm sure that helps to get a key black listed . You know it might never come to Micro$oft deny us a chance to patch our sink hole O/S . But I'm like Izagaia, I'm curious and like things to work the way they should. :)
