Apparently, adding memory is not considered a minor change. A while ago, I added some memory to a friend's notebook. That was enough to require reactivation.

I added memory to my XP machine about 2 years ago. I didn't have any authorization issue. The only thing that happened is I got a pop-up when I booted the first time that said something like "Memory has changed!".

Was yours an OEM install? My friend's computer was originally supplied with Windows 98, which I later updated to XP.

Yes, the machine had XP on it when I bought it from Dell. Greg
