Thanks for all the input folks, it is an OEM version purchased from E-bay as
someone suggested, it has been well past the 120 days, I could use the CD rom
from the original box but that's about it. I'm going to try for a re-install
at some point, all they can say is no. Previously I had to swap out the vid
card and a CD, and an HD, that did require the call to MS but they did give
me the #. Again that was at least 6 months ago. Windows 2000 Pro is looking
better and better !

If you move it to a different computer, it will be a violation of the
license agreement. An OEM cannot be moved. The computer can be upgraded,
but the OS cannot be transferred.
