Seen the same thing myself and the only sure cure was a clean install
which isn't what your customer wanted of course.
Main system is getting flakey here lately after several days of running.
Seems to involve Firefox consuming system memory to the tune of upwards
of 950 MB's and everything including the cursor slows down like a busy
Win3.1 on a 486 SX25. May be time for a reinstall myself if I can't find
the problem. I'm also interested in your solution if you find one.

activate, need to log on to do that but it will not let ya log on. Have also
seen the infamous u have 3 days or whatever to activate, reboot and the loop
begins.

Hello Hardware,
XPH SP3. Had serious infections. Cleaned up. BSOD on boot. Did XP
repair over it self (Act like going to load windows and choose repair
opt). BSOD gone. Dell system with XP sticker on box. Used that number with
*my* OEM XPH SP3 disk when it asked for the sticker code. I am sure
this systems XP was not orig SP3 but it was patched there. Anyway, I
try to logon any of the 3 accounts and it tells me the copy isnt
activated and do I want to activate it now. I choose yes. Then after a
very long time it logs me back out and goes no further. I can get on
admin acct (in safe mode) no issues. User accts in reg mode - no go.
