From: Daniel on 17 Apr 2010 19:44 Hi I have just fixed up a friends Laptop, this included a format and re-install of XP Home SP2, this was done at my place for convenience. While installing the OS I had my Internet Ethernet cable inserted and when install completed I activated over my Internet Connection, this was all fully automatic. I also installed MSE and updated it over my connection. Now question is, when my friend takes the Laptop home and plugs it into their connection, will it use my ISP and account or theirs. If it will use my account how do I stop that before I give them back their Laptop? Thanks Daniel

The only thing you should do is to install SP3 before letting him lose on the net just for his own protection. hth -- THE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
