xp registration

I can't register XP due to having done it about 3 times within the last 3 months due to new motherboard, hard drive and video and sound card . If I call them will they let me register cause when I try it says I've done it to many times?

Yes! If you have a legitimate copy of WinXP you can call Microsoft and they will activate it for you over the phone (for free of course). You just call 'em up and give them your 25 digit activation number and they'll do the rest.

I didn't know you could do that. I guess I never registered windows before.

EDIT/ADD

How would you like to be the person that has to sit around all day taking calls registering people's OS's?

"Did you say B or D?" "Was that character 16 or 17?"
