i recently reformatted my computer, and i had to go through the product activation program, and it said that my copy of xp was activated. but when i installed service pack 2, every time i reboot my pc, i have to re-activate my copy of windows! it says its valid and completes every time, but it is a nuicance. i tried using a tool to make it stop popping up, but then i couldnt download updates because the pc wasnt activated. then i ran the activaton tool and downloaded the updates. is there a patch or something to make it keep my pc activated?
