XP activation missed

[GrahamPringle]

Hello,
I missed my Windows XP activation period. I know I should do so in safe mode, but my Internet connection is a Cellular phone network modem - which is not detected in safe mode. How can I activate Windows XP?

You can do it over the phone. Call Microsoft.

Where did you hear that you need to activate Windows in Safe Mode?
