windows activation

[Jayne]

i had to reinstall windows xp last week after system pack
2 rubbished my puter, but at the time i didnt put in the
activation code. i have been to accesories>system tools,
but there isnt a activation thinkg to click, i have been
to start and run and typed in that oobe thing and my
puter says it cannot locate it, i am not getting the
bubble up to remind me to activate either, so........am i
still activated from the first time, or is my puter still
faulty. I dont know if the hard drive was reformatted
either so dont ask me that. LOL

Hi

Did you enter the 'oobe' command correctly:

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

If you have an OEM license and the computer's manufacturer uses
BIOS-locking, the OS won't require activation unless you try to
install it on a computer other than the one to which the license
belongs.
