Xp is licensed to only one PC. It is even debatable whether you can uninstall it from one PC and move it to another. The only way to stop it from not working is to install a legit copy or (and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, IN FACT I'M A BIT UNSURE TO POSTING IT) install another dodgy copy and turn off auto updates. this leaves you at the mercy of all the lovely nasty's that hunt out insecure windows xp machines though.

I'm afraid that more and more people who are using iffy copies are going to start coming up against this sort of thing and I can see people like me getting busy/rich from fixing it
