Hello,

I just ran RIPrep on a new laptop to make an image for the rest of the
laptops we bought.

After the reboot, Windows setup ran and when I logged in it asked me to
activate Windows.

Activation failed and it's telling me my Windows is not authentic.

This is a brand new laptop with a valid XP license. I entered the license
key from the sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

How can this happen?

What can I do to fix it?

Thanks,

Rob
