I get this error code, with text "... checking license ..." on starting XP Professional on a Dell laptop. I'm aware of the MS workaround which involves editing the registry in SAFE mode. Unfortunately, F8 to enter safe mode at boot does not work. So my question is - why doesn't F8 work as usual?

If you have a keyboard with a F-Lock key, did you press it first?
