I bought a used Gateway computer from my company when they decided to get new ones. With the computer came a killdisk and a corporate version of windows xp.
I killed the Gateway and sent the verification code to my company. I then killed a nicer Dell that I had and installed xp on that. The Gateway is sitting in a closet, I just wanted the OS.
Installation went great, but I get the activation countdown. Everytime I click to activate, it tells me windows is already activated but the countdown continues. This happened before, and when it reaches 0 days it becomes a loop that automatically logs me off when I click to activate.
No where do I get the oppurtunity to put in an activation code. Is there a way to get around this, or to get it activated?
