ATTN: BILL SMITHERS

Bill Smithers

My XP computer crashed and I had to reinstall XP. I NEED it to play dozens of games I purchased for it but was not able to play. Now I am retired and want to play those games. I also program using VB6 and need XP for that.

I reinstalled my box copy of XP and got it running again, but it only lasts 30 days because I can no longer register. I read your comments about asking Microsoft for help, but I can't get through to them now. Is there a way to register this product again using the key that came in the box? If not, is there a workaround?

I thought about writing Microsoft and explaining the situation, perhaps including a photo of the box with the key. However, I have a feeling I will not hear back from them..

 

Bill Gates Retires From Microsoft

The founder and head of Microsoft, the world's largest software company Bill Gates steps down on Friday. One of the richest men in the world, Gates will now work full time for his charitable organization The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The 52-year-old will continue to be chairman though, but will only retain a nominal role in the software empire. He is still is the biggest shareholder of the company and his 8.7 per cent stake in Microsoft is worth about 23 billion dollars.

Gates authored the personal computer revolution three decades ago when he founded Microsoft along with his friend Paul Allen.

Microsoft released a commemorative video paying tribute to Bill's service to the company, titled "Bill Gates: Looking back, Moving Ahead". It can be watched on the company's website here.
