OK, I have a friend that did not activate there XP. When they login, they get "windows has not been activated click Yes/No to activate now". If you press yes/no it restarts, and you get the same thing.
You can boot to safe mode but only safe mode, no Safe mode with networking etc.
Is there a way to repair this in safe mode? Any help would be fine, I am hoping that I will not have to reformat.
Thank you.

If you can get into safe mode...try to go to start>all programs>accesories>system tools>activate windows>
You may need to reenter your product ID. You will have to call a telephone number. in US it is 1888-571-2048.
Microsoft will give you a new installation ID after asking some questions.
If everything goes well it should work.
Good luck...if you add more details later I will edit my answer for you to give you any more info that you may need.

It's a Microsoft thing. If must register XP within 30 days of installation or it stops working. You are going to have to install it again.

If XP is a legal version, call Microsoft.
If XP is NOT a legal version, buy one. IRONIC, eh???
