Xp Keeps requiring to be activated

[simonstevens35]

hi there,

Heres the Problem - almost everytime I turn on my xp machine, it asks to be activated. I opt to activate it online and everything goes according to plan. Then the next time i start the machine, it again asks to be activated.
Has anyone got any ideas of why/how to overcome this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Is it detecting new hardware each time?

I had a conversation with someone at MS, were if the system thinks you're installing "too much" Hardware .. it makes the assumption you're trying to get it installed onto another system .. even tho you haven't even tried to reinstall anything but hardware..

so I'm assuming .. if it's detecting new hardware on startup this could be part of the issue?

i guess the follow up question is, is this a legit version of XP.

regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll

regsvr32.exe licdll.dll
