hey peeps
am not a computer expert but i can manage i guess but i have a serious problem with my lap top
its an acer aspire 2010 but thats not the problem
my issue is with my windows xp
since its a laptop win xp was already activated; a couple of days ago i upgraded to service pack 2 (no problems so far)
but about a week ago i started getting this wierd message when ever i open up a session:
 
first thing i get is this copie of windozs needs to be activated by microsoft before yo ucan open a session, do you wish to activate windows now?
i click on yes but then i get this message of windows being alrady active, click on OK to quit.
i click OK but it takes me back to "open a windozs session screen" same thing if i click on NO
if anyone has solution for this problem plz help ASAP

the copy of your windows, has it been activated on another PC?
 
thats your problem
the same happened to me
try and get hold of microsoft customer services if the XP cd isnt an illegal copy and it is yours personally
