I have a wounderful pop up error that tells me to activate windows xp in
order to log on. It then asks me if i would like to do so, upon clicking yes
i am looged in and then immeadeatly logged out again and i am completely
unable to access anything on my computer except one drive shared to me
network that has nothing on it at this time.


any clue on how to solve this problem? other than a re-format and re-install?
 
Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode".
While in Safe Mode, rename the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the
\Windows\system32 folder.

This will force activation on the following boot,
but should remove the message that you are already activated message.
Sometimes if these files get corrupted, they can cause this type of problem.
