XP Activation Advice

[Dermot]

After a problem with norton ghost 2003 I carried out an XP Pro Upgrade Repair.

Everything works fine apart from the internet connection that displays the
error message:
The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context.

When I click Start / accessories / system tools /activate........
.....the Activation wizard does not start......

How to I get the wizard to function again.... then I can get activated.

I have followed the WGA procedure....which confirms the installation but
without the wizard.....I cannot proceed any further...... I am very reluctant
to do a clean install as I have a pile of software to reinstall if I do.

So, Can anyone tell me how I can get the Activation Wizard to open?

Thanks in advance

I have followed many instructions from the internet to find a solution to my
activation problem
