I need to run XP occasionally so I have a dual-boot config. This morning I tried to boot Win XP and was told 'windows needs to be activated' - and it wouldn't log me in. I did that last year and I haven't changed anything, but what the hell - I have a legal copy, so I clicked yes. Then it said 'this copy of windows is already activated' and logged me off... rebooted - and the same thing. It won't let me log in and it won't activate. I have to reinstall from scratch AGAIN! What a design. <sigh>
Perhaps Sir Billy is running short of pocket change and wants you to buy another copy. ;-)
