Ok, basics of the system are this:

Got ahold of some bad software earlier this week and it damaged one of the
critical files. I have a duel-boot system (Ubuntu Linux on the other boot)
so I used that to back up critical files, then bought a new copy of windows
home (lost the old disk) and repaired the windows partition.

My problem is this: When I try to log in to Windows, the moment I type my
password in and hit enter it brings up the activation window ("Do you want to
activate Windows now"). No matter what I choose, it just goes right back to
the login screen, and I cannot get to the desktop.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

When you done the repair with the new Disk did you insert the COA on the
case or the Key for that CD?

Just try the Registry Part and see if that will help.

Mind elaborating on that a bit? Your question was quite confusing (Try not
using so many abbreviations)
