So I used an ultimate boot disk to wipe my laptop and its viruses. I re-installed Windows XP and activated it.
Now, each time I start, it is says I have to activate it now, logs in, says activation already completed and reboots back to where I choose the profile to log in. I can only enter the laptop in Safe Mode, no networking. I really have no clue what is going on. Help please!
