I have Win XP Home and it was activated a few months ago..for some reason all
of a sudden when I try to run updates it tells me it cant bacause windows is
not activated, I have previously been able to run and install updates, but
now it wont let me. I thought if I went back in to the activation wizard and
re-entered the info it would help, but when I go to system tools, there is
nothing there about activating, nor is there any reminder on the task bar.
Any suggestions? thanks
 
at the run prompt type %windir%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a and press enter

the activation wizard will open but it will allow you to enter details only
if windows is not activated

I entered the info you gave me in the run command, but no page ever loaded.
The cursor appeared to be working a few times. but nothing ever came up.
