I finally decided to upgrade from Win2000 pro to WinXP pro so I could use
something more recent than IE6. I got the XP SP2 OEM cd and code from our
IT and installed.
Now when I attempt to log in I get a popup with the title "Windows Product
Activation" and the text shown above in the subject line. This happens with
my own account (member of Administrators group) and with the actual
Administrator account. This happens when booting regular, or in safe mode
with networking.
Any suggestions?

Replying to myself to add new info.
I just downloaded the mgadiag tool. In the "Windows" tab, the Product Key
is _not_ the one I entered (TWICE!) during the XP upgrade. My best guess is
that it is the key from the earlier 2000 pro installation. This is probably
what the problem is. Now ... how do I get to enter the proper key?

Why do you still use Windows XP? Windows 7 Give your reasons. Do you plan to upgrade ever? If so, when and why? If you use both XP and 7, do you ever plan on ditching XP for good? What will you do when support is dropped to the point where this OS will be problematic with new hardware? Personally I am waiting for Windows 8 to release a second service pack. XP sucked when it first came out until SP1. Even then, I find the moron-babysitting did not work, it had to enabled then disabled to be disabled for real. Sigh. . .

Chkdsk / Scandisk Windows 7 I still use Windows98 most of the time. I am not fond of XP, but I have XP on my laptop computer, and must keep it to use the WIFI. One thing that really irks me about XP is that it no longer has Scandisk. Chkdsk is really a major pain to use dropped it in favor of this worthless and annoying Chkdsk. . . . .

cannot access WINDOWS UPDATE successfully . . . keeps soliciting New!Get Microsoft Update today! Windows 7 I am running Windows XP SP3 Home Edition on 1 of 4 PC's and it is been updated through early April 2011. Prior to this, accessing Windows Updates (via http: / / www.update.microsoft.com / windowsupdate / v6 / default.aspx?ln = en-us) worked to understand why. Recently, around the middle of April 2011, each time I went to Windows Update, the page initially appears and I can briefly see the 2 buttons (of which Get Microsoft Update today!" I have no interest in Microsoft Update for my PC running XP SP3 Home Edition because my other 3 PC's, all running Windows XP SP3 Professional with Internet Explorer 6 are having no problems with Windows Update.
