So today, when I turn my computer on, I get a message saying Windows needs to Re-Activate because new hardware was added. So I say "Okay, whatever. This shouldn't take long."

So I enter my product key, and get this bull crap.


So now, I have to waste 20 minutes of my time on the phone with a Sales Representative, because Microsoft screwed up on XP.

And I can't even call right now, and get it out of the way, because I'm too pissed that I have to deal with this crap.

Normally its pretty quick to talk to Microsoft on this. I had a similar problem with one too many PC's registered on Office XP and just called, told them what was going on, and they gave me a code then and there to activate it.

Then again...you havnt downloaded anything that might be running this as a way to steal your Product Key have you?

And how exactly are you going to help me? Why would I want an illegal serial number for a product I legally own? I'm just too pissed to call them right now.

That would do it. XP gets a little weird when it has to contact with the same key after 3-4 times.
