ok, so im on my grandmas computer, i reformatted the hard drive about a month and a half ago, i wondered if it had ever been activated because when i was on it after i formatted the hard drive and installed windows for about an hour installing software it never said anything about having to activate windows, so i went to c:\windows\system32 looking for wpa.dbl and wpa.bak, i saw wpa.dbl but no wpa.bak which means that it hasnt been activated. What makes this happen, i've seen it more than once but its like the first time you install or reinstall xp you dont have to activate it..it makes no sense but what makes it not happen?
kinda confusing if u ask me
