XP home Activation Loop....Activated but not!

    havent come across this one before.....

    the computer prompts you to activate before you logon, but when you say ok, it say that it is already activated! It then sends you back to the logon screen.

    so this goes round and round in a loop. Mildly annoying.

    any thoughts?

    Sounds like you have changed hardware in your PC a few times. XP generates its activation code from the hardware IDs in you PC, So changing it will prompt it to require re-activation.

    Just ring Microsoft on 1800 930031.
