Activate XP after 30 days

[R Doornbosch]

Can anyone explain to me how to activate XP after the 30 days has expired,
without re-installing XP. I have let the 30 days laps and this computer does
not have any internet access (NO Modem or network card). I also am not able
to log into XP. Any ideas?

Login in Safe Mode (Press F8 during boot up)
Then activate via telephone.

You should be able to login if you boot, hitting F8 as BIOS info goes to
black (before the Windows splash) and take Safe Mode.

There run
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Activate Windows
and use the Activate by phone. You will need access to a phone (do
*not* let the activation process close down until you have completed the
call), call a toll free number that will be given and swap one long
number for another to type in
