I have had serious issues lately with a machine where IE6 came to an almost
stop onan XP Home based machine. (huge delays between screens) I tried to
reinstall Service Pack 2, but could not do this successfully. I ended up
upgrading the machine to Windows XP professional. The problem did not go
away, however now I need to activate Windows professional and clicking on the
activte icons get a momentary hourglass and then the system just returns to
an idle screen (although the Activate process is taking about 30% of the CPU
performance). I installed Firefox to communicate and that works great.
The clock is now ticking, Microsoft does not acknowledge the new install and
says "call the manufacturer", I can't activate. I need to fix this issue.
Is there a configuration somewhere that could have done this? I have
scanned for spyware and viruses. Did I corrupt a DLL or some other file?
