I have seen hundreds upon hundreds of threads about people being unable to re-activate their windows xp. When windows will not automatically re-activate itself, this is because the present hardware has changed significantly since your first activation. First of all, try to activate over the internet. This is the quickest way and is the 'normal' way that everybody knows how to activate windows.

I called back and told them that lightning had destroyed the original hardware. They told me that in effect lightning had also destroyed that copy of XP. I finally called back and lied about it - told them I had bought it with a floppy drive and was still using that floppy drive. They finally let me activate it, but gave me a warning that it could no longer be reactivated with a hardware change of any kind, period. That's when I finally sold the whole system and went back to 2000. MSI K8N Neo4 Sli Platinum CPU..
