After installing WinXP Home Edition and filling out the activation info, now
I get a different one saying that the hardware has changed and to fill out a
reactivation form. I've done that and I get a window that it was successful,
but I still get that window over and over when I startup Windows. How can I
stop this?

Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode".
While in Safe Mode, rename the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the
\Windows\system32 folder.

This will force activation on the following boot,
but should remove the message that you are already activated message.
Sometimes if these files get corrupted, they can cause this type of problem.
