    Is it possible to register my copy of Windows XP Professional?

    When installing it, I had to use the telephone to activate. This meant I couldn't activate and register over the internet, as offered during installation.

    I've hunted as best I can through MS's information website but can't find the answer.

    To sum up: my Windows XP is installed and activated. Is it still possible to register it, please?

    Thanks for looking... :)

    To open Registration Wizard, click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type regwiz /r.

    Steve: thank you very much.

    All went well until the information was to be sent over the internet. Then, a screen came up and said something along the lines of: "Sorry! Windows Register Wizard has encountered a problem. Would you like to send the error details to Microsoft? "

    Bill Gates has a sense of humour!

    There's little point in registering Windows. As long as it's activated, that's all you need.
