I Need Some Help With Winblows Xp

[OptikaliLLusion]

Well

 

I tried MS's customer service, but they suck at their job. I explain thoroughly and they don't seem to get it. Their online chat service is as buggy as their operating systems. So I turn to you, the OCCers, to help.

 

I did a repair install of XP last week. 5 days ago, XP nagged that I had 5 days to activate XP. I click OK, and it says "Windows is already activated". Then the next day, I get the same message saying I need to activate XP. I click OK, and I get the same "Windows is already activated". Now I'm on my last day before Windows locks me out. How the hell can I activate Windows XP when it says it is already activated and at the same time says it isn't activated?

I suggest you remove that last link very soon before the mods see that, read the rules *****.

You idiot, that last link tries to install a virus on your computer. More like several viruses.

 

The second one is for XP Pro, I ahve XP Home ;_;

 

Might try the first one, but first want to know any easier ways to fix this bug.

i dunno if this helps but:

i did like 5 reapirs of xp (the reason is too stupid for me to mention) and i experienced the same problem and windows took up a trucl load of disk space

i asked someone to come and see what was wrong and the guy said that i had 5 installs of xp on my hd, it seems that if u "repair" the previous install the reapir doesnt completely override the last

the only way for me to get rid of the problem was to format c:\s

[cchalogamer]

formating has always worked best for me, the only thing is my version of pro doesnt ask to be activated so i never ran into your problem anyway. Burn your stuff to CD/DVD and give it a good reformat, chances are it'll be faster when you get it set back up anyway (install on another HDD and boot off it if you have a second HDD, then u can just copy files to the new drive from your old windows drive and reformat ti w/o a pile of CDs lol)
