Hello all, 26/5/2020
Last year I installed win xp pro on my Acer win 7 laptop.
It has two graphics cards, and drivers for win xp do not exist for it.
But I found all xp drivers on the net from other makes of pc.
All drivers worked, but, the extra graphics card, and I just had to keep on trying to get both graphics cards working; big mistake.
Bogged down in drivers (black screen etc) I decided to reinstall xp.
Now I find that Microsoft have turned off the activation servers.
I have tried to use the get around software on offer on the internet, but nothing seems to work.
Short of getting an Acer xp disk that automatically switches off the coa during installation, I really don't know what to do.
Help!
