Re: XP Activation Screen after successful activation

Try booting to safe mode to see if any of these files exist. If they do
delete them.

Windows\reset5.dt1
Windows\reset5.dt3
Windows\Prefetch\RESET5.EXE-23A0DD0C.pf
Windows\system32\reset5.dat
Windows\system32\reset5.dll
Windows\system32\reset5.exe
Windows\system32\REGOBJ.DLL
Windows\system32\resetservice.exe
Windows\system32\srvany.exe
Windows\system32\resetwpa.reg
Windows\system32\resetwpa.LOG

If it is true that these files exist and you have deleted them you will have
to activate one more time. Most likely over the phone.

Good luck!!
