problems with activation

S

Sundio

Please can someone tell me what i am doing wrong.
I have win xp prof sp2 ver 2002 loaded on my computer.
I own the genuine cd and i have a genuine key,
My problem is this, my computer tells me that i have 3 days left to activate
windows so i say yes to the activation.
The computer logs on and goes through the activation process.
It then tells me that my activation has been successful.
Winxp continues to load and if i then click on " activate windows " via
system tools' it tells me that my product
has already been activated.
You would think i would be happy by now but here is the crunch.
if i shut the pc down and restart it then it goes through the same process
and again asks me if i want to acttivate my copy of windows.
I am going round and round in circles here.
I have been to the windows validation page and it confirms that my product
and key is valid.but no matter how many times i activate it it does the same
thing again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

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.
