Activation Problem

[Guest]

I keep getting a message to activate Windows XP.
I already activated it, but everytime I turn on the computer, it tells me
to activate.
So I try to activate it but then I get a message that it is already activated.

What is going on.

Possible Resolution:

Boot into Safe Mode.

Then 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.

Apparently, and I can't say how, the above files became unregistered.
