I've upgraded the hardware on an OEM PC (MB & CPU), therefore I had to boot
from the XP Home disk to "repair" the XP installation. This appeared to
complete successfully (fully legitimate XP Home OEM disk and license).
On restart the PC is refusing to allow log-on until the XP is activated,
however when I click YES to Activate windows the desktop "blinks" on then the
system immediately logs off (saving settings message etc) and returns to the
user log on screen.
I cannot get into safe mode etc since the system will not allow any form of
log on until it is activated - but it will not bring up the activation page
when requested!
Could do with some help here guys.
