Hey.
I put together a modest computer for a friends friends friend. Anyway, I installed XP and everything was fine, I got to the desktop. Then I shut it down for a while as I had other things to do. Later I turned it on, got to the login screen and a messege saying "You must activate your copy of Windows before loggin in". I don't think I've ever seen this before. During setup I chose that "Remind me later" option when it wanted me to activate it. Then I've always gotten that reminder in the taskbar..
Now I think my only option is to do it over teh internet. It is a legal key and everything, but the problem is the computer don't have a firewall (save XP's built in one). And only SP1.
Now, do you think I can connect it and activate it? Is the activation smart enough to shut down everything except the ports and whatnot needed for the process? I'm not very keen on connect to the internet without a proper firewall. :shadedshu
Thanks for looking!
