Hi Dave I would do the following now: 1. Scan your drives for errors: Start --> run --> chkdsk c: /f (for your first drive/partition, chkdsk d: /f for the second etc.) say "y" yes to do the Check after the next restart
2. Check your Windows system files with Start --> run --> sfc /scannow have your Windows XP disk ready 3. Look for the File "wpa.dbl" in the windows system32 directory and **safe it now**. It contains your Xp activation hardware details. This step is recommended for everybody using Windows XP!!! 4. Download the program "xp-antispy.exe", it's free and there you can, beside other useful settings, set the XP activation to be done. Usually not recommended at all. 5. If that does all not help, I would do a repair installation of Windows XP. I assume, that you use a current antivirus program and already did a virus scan on the system, maybe with an additional scanner like the free "Stinger" ? greetings Markus >>2-Turned on the computer last night and got a message that XP has not been >>activated,please do so >>now.Only problem is it was activated when i bought the unit over >>two years ago.
