I cannot activate windows on an Acer Travelmate 8103 as it tells me there is no internet connection. I am reinstalling windows. However, Firefox works fine. I had to install the network adapter driver and am on SP3 but Internet Explorer still doesn't work fully (comes up with an error page half the time). Windows update via IE 8 starts but then comes up with the same error page. Contacting Microsoft support, the bot tells me that whilst it is still possible to activate XP, their agents won't deal with it because it is out of support now I have to ask in the community for assistance. I was talking to support anyway so asked them about XP and was fobbed off saying the activation will work later lol...it's not been working for over 24 hours so far. I thought about buying a copy of Win 7 x86 but not sure it will work on this laptop with drivers etc. (think I tried it before but will try again). Thanks.
