I installed Windows XP and did not get around to
activating for about 27 days. I finally got around to
it, and now it will not activate. When I click on the
activation reminder box to activate, nothing happens.
When I go to programs>accessories>system tools>activate
windows, nothing happens. When I run system32
\oobe\msoobe.exe, nothing happens. How do I activate?

Try repairing the registration of the activation .dll files

Use Start- Run and enter the following text in the dialog box:
regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll

Then do it again with the following text:
regsvr32.exe licdll.dll

Good luck
