This copy of XP OEM was pre-installed on my computer when purchased new a few years back.. I've re-installed it a few times now, and this last time (about 3 weeks ago) it asks me to Activate Windows
eMachines is no help, google is no help, Microsoft is less help than anybody so far.. I'm lost!
Whenever I turn the computer on, after being completely off or signed out of Windows, the bubble pops up asking me to activate windows, and it says I have so many days left to activate.. if I click the bubble, the window pops up and there's a picture of keys in the background, and the window loads as normal, except theres no buttons or text anywhere! Nowhere to input the product key
Can anyone advise me on what to do here? The last resort is to completely move over to ubuntu, but this is my wife's machine and she's not too computer savvy.. I'd like my XP to work, after all.. I did pay for it back in the day.
