XP activation window is blank.

Hi,

I have had an XP upgrade running over ME for over a year. Recently I have
changed hardware to fix a few problems. Now XP has given me three days to
re-activate it. Unfortunately when I try and activate it, the pop up
activation window is blank, with two "missing graphics" boxes in each top
corner..

I have tried making Firefox, then IE my default browser, turning off all
firewalls and protection, saying ON to all Active-X settings, all to no avail.

Can I delete an Axtive-X "someting" and force a re-install of the activation
script?

Any other ideas?

Two days to go now ....

Thanks,

Garry.
