OK, so here's one for ya.

I've had to install VPC7 and XP four times on my iMac G5. Each time I
activated XP according to the provided prompts and each time at the end
of thirty days it (XP) would not allow me to log on because it was "not
activated." Any ideas on what the problem might be - and no I did not
enter the code wrong.

If it wasn't for the fact that my daughter needed 'windows' to work on
her high school assignments, I never would have bought the damned
program in the first place. But now I seem to be stuck with a piece of
Microsoft crap that I can't even use. Oh well, at least the CDs will
make nice outdoor Christmas decorations.





Obviously, you didn't complete the activation process. You must wait
for the Wizard to complete the process and you WILL get a message that
you successfully activated Windows or a message that it failed. You
can't just click on the balloon and forget about it.

And if you hate MS so much, there are alternatives that your daughter
can pursue
