WINDOWS XP - HOME

Hey Guys & Girls .. Happy New Year !!! Hope you all had a good Xmas & New Year celebration. Been staying under the radar the last few weeks but that's a whole other story...

Need some help - my kids have a an EeePC that had windows xp on it when it was bought. My &*&&^^ exhusband recently had it at his place and updated the software to windows 7 BUT it's a freeking pirated copy and authorisation code (or whatever you call it) has expired.

I need to reinstall Windows XP on this bloody thing so that a) we can use it and b) it's legal. It has as sticker on the back with the authentic, original key code but I don't have a copy of the software?? A friend said to look on uTorrent which is all well and good cept I have NO IDEA what I'm looking for ...

Please help .... (playing damsel in distress here .. LOL) Thanks

Your better off ringing Asustek ( I think they do the Eee PC ), and seeing if they have a recovery disk or Reinstallation discs.

U could get it of one of many u torrent sites, just search for winxp home, If you do chose this method be very wary of viruses, also I don't think your product key will get it "genuine" anyway, so even though you have a original key code, its still classed as an illegal copy.

Some of the other Computer guys probable have better knowledge about it than I do

Everything on my lappy screen has doubled in appearance - print, pics everything.

I'm using the built in mousepad to navigate and it's so sensitive. I've done something and don't know how to fix it.

I'm using Windows 2010 home premiuim edition.

Guys, my lappy is doing some strange/weird stuff. Keeps switching on/off, the screen blinks and wrong letters come out when I type. I also noticed it goes to wrong websites when I enter the web address. I have all this Patrol porn everywhere as well. Funny thing is it only happened when I got this screen saver from here.

Anyone got any ideas what is going on????
