XP tells me I need to activate, then tells me I am, then loggs me

[Guest]

I had to reinstall XP because of some computer problems. I did that, it told me that I had to activate, I clicked on it, it was just a re-install on the same computer. This computer is always on the internet, so it is not a connection issue. Every day for the last 30 days it tells me how long I have left to activate, I click on it every time and it tells me that I am activated. I, apparently incorrectly, figured that after the 30 days it would just stop telling me that.

I tried to log on to my computer tonight, it tells me over the log in screen that I need to activate, I clik OK, it tells me that I AM activated, then loggs me out. The computer WILL NOT let me in.

I REALLY need this machine running ASAP as I use it for my business! Help

It's a bit long winded I know but I would phone Microsoft in this instance and enter the activation key manually.

Greetings --

It may be that your activation has become "unregistered." Try
this solution, posted by Carey Frisch, MS-MVP:

Possible Resolution:

Boot into "Safe Mode" by pressing (F8) during a reboot.

Go to Start > Run and type: regsvr32 regwizc.dll , and hit enter.
Then go again to Start > Run and type: regsvr32 licdll.dll , and
hit enter again.
