We have all seen and read about problems with WGA before and it seems some users are currently encountering a new bug in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 which prompts for activation every time the computer is started even if the operating system has been activated before.
Microsoft states that the cause of the problem is that a script that is running on the computer “interferes with Windows activationâ€. No word on what script is interfering with the activation and how it was installed on the computer is given.
Microsoft is offering a guided help and a manual solution to fix the problem that prompts the user to activate his operating system even if it was successfully activated before.
The manual solution could take some time though. It consists of nine steps that involve deleting settings in the Registry, deleting files on the system and activating Windows again as the last step.
