Hi!

I have backed up my Drive with Norton Ghost and updated it a few times. I have already performed a few recoveries so far without problems. Unfortunately, yersterday I had the surprise of XP asking me to activate and this BEFORE logging in. When I clicked " yes" to activate, the system told me that I don't need to, because ..I was already activated. When I typed O.K. to continue, I went back to square 1 : I was asked again to activate and so on and son. There is no way I could get out of this obnoxious dead end. At least, if I could log in, I'd probably find a way out, but I am stuck! Are there any ways to get out? May be accessing the Registry from the DOS prompt to remove some keys. Or at least, should I take any other drive image in the future, is there a way to remove the WPA entries from the Registry, while I am logged in? I have even tried Safe Mode, unsuccessfully.

Can anybody help, please?

Thank you

Ittiandro
