Guest James from Canberra Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Re: XP - multiple installations with same licence? I was looking through my old postings and found this one. I may as well give an update. I never did install the second copy of XP. The video card was second hand, and the seller explained it was my problem -it worked OK under SP1. The $350 (second hand!) video capture card sat in its box waiting for new SP2 drivers. They never happened. Life moved on. I bought a USB video capture box. It works fine. I gave the capture card to a friend who uses Linux on the of-chance there are Linux drivers for it. It still leaved a bad taste in my mouth. That was a lot of money.
