Problems with xp RE-Activation

Unable to re-Activate using "Alll programs > accessories> etc> etc''

I am NOW using a computer that I loaded with a Acronis back upm from my previous failed operational computer.

The new copter boots and the first screen says I need to REactivate. I am given only 2 options - " Reactivate or cancel"" If I click Re activate I get a blue screen, If I clicl cancell I get the full use of the computer. I have lefty the blue screen on for 45 minutes but nothing happens.

I am not given any optios like no phone or anything. What can I do? only 1 day left to Re activate. Thanks Hoppy1

One thing I've done is make a copy of my XP installation using Macrum.

XP will, eventually, be unusable, but for the moment, the cost of buying a new product is beyond me.

I should also add that, having worked with a modern PC with Win 7 I wasn't impressed with either the speed, the stability nor the interface.

Sadly, there is little real alternative to M$. Linux is buggy and full of traps. Apple is bloated and slow with too many limitations.

 

Found these three possible hacks. Worth a try:

For those of us whose installations don't need reinstalling, taking a copy using something like Macirum or Paragon would seem to be a sensible precaution
