My laptop is already activated with XP but every time I reboot, it
asks me to activate again.
I first activated it a few months ago, having just bought it as new
from Ebay. It didn't come with an installation CD but has a sticker
with the XP
serial number. A few days ago, it started giving me the activation
screen again each time I re-booted. So I have to go through the whole
ritual each time. It DOES successfully activate each time - it says so
- so this doesn't look like a problem with a pirate copy. Nor is it a
problem with the 30 days grace period having expired.
Also, this isn't the problem that some people have had, whereby they
are told to activate and then it says "already activated" -- but the
30 day counter carries on ticking down. My counter doesn't seem to be
decreasing.
Nor have I made any system changes.
Any ideas?
