Re-Activation?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

My XP has apparently locked all users out because it doesn't show that my XP
has been activated. How can I get from this point (where the system asks for
a log-in and then logs users off and returns to the log-in screen???

HELP ME!!

Restart the machine in safe mode and then activate.
Is there any reason you have waited for days and let the activation limit
expire ?

It wasn't intentional. When I would log onto Windows, I would be taken to my
desktop, where a pop-up would come up stating that I had x amount of days to
activate and would ask "Do you wish to activate now?" and I would select
"yes"...... Then another pop-up would open and would say "Your Windows
product is already activated" - I'd click 'OK' and everything was fine. How
was I to know that it really wasn't??

OK, but if you see this message for more then one day then you have a
problem.
So even using the safe mode activation may not work.
