Every time I reboot Windows XP home it asks me to complete the activation. i
go through the process and am re-activated. However, as soon as I re-boot it
asks me to go through the same process all over again. SP2 is installed on
this computer. I found a hotfix but it is for XP Media Centre.

Any ideas on how to fix this???????????????????????

Here is a similar note but for Windows XP Media Centre. This problem was
also supposed to be fixed with SP2.
