    About a week ago I've been getting an error every time I start up windows XP professional. The error message reads: "Your copy of Microsoft windows XP with expire in X amount of days." I've already activated windows, so I dont know how this is a problem. I then went to the support section for this type of error, and both solutions listed did not fix the problem.

     

    Any help would be great!

    Blackcell,

    Please follow these steps for assistance:

    Step 1 is to run the utility at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, then click the Windows tab, click the "Copy" button, then paste the report into a response in this thread.  The report does not release any personally identifiable information and does obscure the XP installation's Product Key.

    Step 2 is to look on the computer or with the materials you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of  Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).  If you have one, tell us about the COA.  Tell us:

    1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

    2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

    3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

    4.  DO NOT post the Product Key on the CoA to the forum.

    Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

    The thing is I've already activated it over the phone, and that website is just the overview of activation which i know. The error that I am getting is from the fact that I have already activated windows xp through the phone a long time ago, and all of a sudden windows tells me i need to activate XP, but it already is.
