For starters, turn off your cap locks, it's considered shouting and is very
difficult to read. The answer to your questions is simple, no XP cd, no
reinstall. You won't have any problems with activation if you can't
reinstall.

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
