Re: "" Stuck in endless Registration Request Loop at bootup ""

No Joy. When I select "With Network Support", XP does not let me enter safe
mode without Activating first, and we are back to the same old loop.

I'm ready to try the Registry hack!

I spent FIVE HOURS today on the phone with a very sweet Indian woman in New
Delhi, India troubleshooting this problem and we were not able to fix it.
Now, how is THAT cost effective? That phone call had to cost Microsoft 3 or
4 times the original product cost. I can't see this Activation fiasco
lasting too much longer...

She told me that she would fwd my case to Microsoft and that they would call
to follow up. Guess what? No call! Surprised? Nope.

This sux!
