Can't login to activate Windows XP ... help!!!!

[John]

Hi,

The 30 day time limit has expired on my copy of Windows
XP, so when I boot it up, it loads up to the Login
screen, and tells me I need to activate Windows. But
when I click the button to activate, it seems like its
working, and the screen changes, but then puts me back to
the login screen ... a continuous loop.

Anyone know how to fix this so I can get in an activate
my copy of Windows.

If anyone can help, please email me at

Cheers,
~John.

Reboot to Safe Mode.
Start/All Programs/Accessories/Activate Windows.
