Windows Activation Problems

[BadHead]

Over the past couple of days, my copy of Windows XP Professional continually
asks me to Activate. Whenever I restart my system, or install a new piece
of software I get asked this. Any ideas how to stop this? I have not
installed any new piece of hardware in the near past.

Phone them on the number that comes up. Ask them what you need to do,
they'll explain.

Just to add, this problem seems to have appeared around the same time I
installed Copernic Desktop Engine Beta 1.5.

As Alan mentioned, go to the Activation window and choose Activate by Phone.
Call the number and explain what is happening. Once you activate it again, it
should fix the problem.

Hi,

I tried that, but when I land on the dialogue box entitled "Activate by
Phone", there is no Installation ID given. Beneath the "step 3: Provide the
Customer Service Representative with the following installation ID:" message
is just a blank space. No installation ID is given. What now?
