I'm working on an XP Home machine, which when starting up kicks into the activation screen to force activation before logging in. Activation through the internet goes smoothly, and a message stating it was successful pops up. The pc then acts normal. Unfortunately, this activation process happens EVERY time at startup! Very annoying. Any ideas?
