I have read a lot of threads from various forums about the Windows XP activation Loop. The one where you go to activate windows and it comes up you are already activated and won't let you get on. I would like to know if someone out there can varify a viable way to overcome this problem. I have read alot and I am totally confused on how to do this. I have tried several methods and none work and I refuse to re-instal the software and start over again and I do not want to lose what I have on the drive. Can someone staighten me out Please? Thanks to all who reply in case I forget!
