I've already got Kontents on the case with this, but thought I'd post it up to see if there is anybody with the same problem.
So I haven't exactly got a 'legal' copy of Windows XP. For the past week I've been getting a pop-up that says that I've gotta activate Windows, so I click 'Activate' and it takes me to a new window that says 'Windows is already activated'. This morning I switch my computer on and it says 'This copy must be activated before you log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?' So I click Yes. It takes me to a screen that says 'Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit'. I click OK, and it takes me back to the log in screen. I click on my name to log in and it goes through the same activation procedure. It's just in a loop. I can't log in to my account (I'm using my girls laptop at the moment tryna find a fix), but I can log in in safe mode. I've tried numerous things to fix this and nothing has worked. Has anybody got a fix for this? I'm considering burning my laptop because of this.
