    It seem that after restarting my computer I have to activate windows again.  I have done this a half dozen times now and can not find out how to fix the problem.  I am running Windows XP Pro and I have the original disc which I purchased myself.  Also I have to get the Genuine Advantage redo each.  But can not do that until I activate the software again and again.

    Can anyone offer some type of suggestion.

    Hello jkerry,

    What happens once you activate?

    Does it immediately ask to be reactivated?
    or
    Does it stay activated till you change hardware and/or install drivers?

    Thank you,
    Darin MS
