Upgrading Computers to Hoster 4.0x

[stublack]

One of the reasons I started this post was to know what to do to transfer from VISTA to XP without any gliches. The thing that I greatly feared has come upon me. OUCH!!!

Well I finally got legal copies of Windows XP to begin changing my Vista machines to XP Pro.
It took me all day to get it on one of my laptops(Compaq), had lots of problems with drivers, but it is now working well.

Before I went through this process I uninstalled 3.321 on two of my laptops,
Compaq reg code 0575049c338f5ca16e
& Gateway reg code 0469018748d9e56fe1

I paid for the upgrade to 4.02 for 0575049c338f5ca16e (the Compaq), and when XP is loaded on the Gateway (the other reg code) I'll buy that upgrade.

I'm getting the error that I tried to avoid when I created this post. It will not let me put 3.321 back on the Compaq. " You can install and register on 2 differen computers. Our records show it has already been registered on 2 different computers. This is definitely not true

I was hoping to be able to use this computer tonight, no such luck. I was told if I followed these directions I would need no help from MTU. It is telling me to go to support / email form. In the past that has taken a very long time to get a resolution and with all the problems that are created by 4.xxx that probably means much longer. Will I have the same problem with the Gateway. God I hope not

I'm very disappointed!!

I guess I'll go submit my support ticket now and cross my fingers.
