I get a message on an old installation of XP Home that 'Windows needs to
be activated'. This follows a major crash, where the power-supply and
motherboard bundle had to be replaced because the machine wouldn't boot at
all. When I click 'OK', the machine things for a few seconds and then tells
me that Windows is already activated ... pressing 'OK' takes me back to the
log-in screen. I can get into Windows OK through Safe Mode, where the
message doesn't appear - but not through Nomal Mode. Any help or advice
would be appreciated - the installation is about 4 years old, and appears to
have run perfectly up until this disaster occurred.
