Hi, Ok I just built an almost completely new PC but used my old HD. Had an Asus MB - now have an INTEL MB... unfortunately, I have no sound :( and the Device Manager says there is no sound device installed. ALL the new MB drivers are installed. SOund is Onboard.

I lost my XP PRo CD so I need to know if I can DL the XP PRO software to reinstall and use my Product Key.

thanks ...Jim

I don't really keep up with the legal aspects of M$'s sales.... but I think it is only grudgingly that they let you have a copy of the software when you buy it. Even then you don't actually own it. The agreement says somewhere that you may make a single copy to preserve the integrity of the original..? Having it available for general download would not fit with that less than generous attitude.
