never had this problem before, im using the same disks as i always do, i entered my product key that i have on the bottom of my laptop same as usual, as its installing windows it pops up asking for it, same as always.
just this time its coming up with "activate Windows" now is doing my head in, microsoft have told me to purchas a new one, but iv got 4 laptops here all with a xp key on the green slip, non of them have worked either. all the same brand of laptop, all came with SP2. the keys on the other laptops have only been installed on there own laptop once, i did a recovery disk but that made my laptop worse, so did a fresh install with the disk i got.
any help is greatly appreciated, as i say iv never had this before, entered the key upon installing Xp Home, and never had this activate windows crap popin up.
