Activation-XP Can't Make Up It's Mind

[The Computer Lab of Zephyrhills]

Got XP Home Edition. When logging in, it says I must immediately activate
XP before logging in. So when I proceed to do just that, it says it's
already activated; no need to activate, it says. But that still does not
get me logged in? No software or hardware changes recently. Assistance is
needed. Thanks.

Start looking to use software that doesn't use copy-protection.
Copy-protection does only one thing "good," screws up.

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.

You can probably get in via Safe Mode when this happens. When in Safe Mode do a search for ***reset5***(drop the asterisk) . Post back with result
