I bought a refurbished computer and I am unable to activate the validation code is wrong.

Original title : I bought a computer refurbished with xp on it and a 'new' disk xp.

When I need to reinstall, I couldn't activate it because of not being able to see the code. I now have new glasses, but he says that the validation code is wrong. I tried to call and was told that the code was wrong. Do I use? I just want to use my computer.     I guess I should mention that I can't on the xp unless it is already validated. I am writing to you on my other computer.

Hello

·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

If you are not able to view the activation code, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the computer for the activation code, also I suggest you to follow the form of measures troubleshooting section and check if that helps.
