Win xp pro. Changed graph/card. Win asked to reactivate did so. Now when I log on It ask's to activate click ok & win said already activated, click ok & win shut's down. Just keep's going around in a loop.

A solution would be appreciated.

Thank's

John

The only way to solve activation problems is to call Microsoft.

In the screen that says you'll need to activate, tell it to do it over the phone. It will give you a number to call along with a screen that you'll need to have sitting in front of you to type in what it tells you to type in.
