It won't.  It shows you paid for Windows Millenium only. If you pay for Windows XP you will get a key that works for Windows XP.  Really... it is like trying to use the key to your old car to start your new car...

Others have suggested installing the drivers, but ONLY install the drivers for Windows XP, go to the manufacturers website and see if they have XP drivers for your particular models, if not, DO NOT install the Windows 98/ME drivers, Windows 2000 drivers MAY work but I wouldn't recommend using them.  Like someone else pointed out, the printer and scanner may simply be too old and not compatible with Windows XP.  If you were using them on Windows 98/ME I can almost guarantee that is the case.

whatever your operating system is..... If it's Windows, or windows XP...etc... go to Microsofthome.com and make sure you click software/applications downloads

try borrowing one from a friend and then use your own product key.

Hypothetically you could, from say a website that provides pirated software, but even if you did successfully download a working pirated copy of Windows XP, chances are you wouldn't be able to do much with it.  Microsoft monitors the license keys used with Windows and I guess has become more strict about cracking down on randomly generated license keys or duplicate ones.

It should already be compatible.  If not, then right-click on the shortcut or exe that you use to run the game, and click on the "compatibility" tab.  Check "Run this program in capatibility mode for:" change it to Windows 98, and try it then.  If that doesn't work, then try Windows 95.\n\nPersonally, I've never come across any Win 95/98 program that would not run in XP.

Assuming you have a working computer running this copy of xp, download this program to it: http://www.sofotex.com/AIDA32-download_L9326.html use it and look under Operating System. The cd key will be listed there

Buy an authetic one from eBay.  It will be cheaper.  Instead of $300 for XP home edition, you can get it for about 80 to 90 bucks on eBay.\n\nOnce you get it, install it and you will have a clean and autheticated installation and full support from microsoft as well as your boot discs.

The MS online electronic validation key is $99 for XP Home and $149 for XP Pro, both with SP2.  You can usually find legal versions (recommend full install rather than upgrade) for less at:  www.edirectsoftware.com\n\nYou can do a repair with the full install Cd and enter the new 25 digit Product Key.  That will give you a legal version as well as repair any missing or corrupt files.  You will have to go into the MS Updates to reinstall any patches or hot fixes.  The repair takes about 1 hr, and the reinstalls of fixes/patches about another 30 minutes.
