Product Activation

[Guest]

I have just completed a clean install of Win XP and when I click on the product activate that pops up down in the task area the window comes up and says "Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit." but the window keeps popping up. Is the product acutally activated? Is there a way to enter in my key or re-enter in my key and make sure that the product is activated so that the popup does not keep coming up?

This is a great utility, but I was wondering if there was a more "Official" way of doing it? If not then I will have to use that download tool. Thanks for that address.

Hi,

Start/run regsvr32 regwizc.dll
Then start/run regsvr32 licdll.dll

See if this helps.
