Post by: jbell on April 30, 2006, 03:28:43 PM
so i have xp pro on my pc.

i never ever log off. its a laptop i leave sitting in the basement to run a printer thing-a-majig i have.

my dog pulled the power cord out, and the battery is bad... so i goto turn it on and logo on today... and im locked out.

im getting a message along the lines of "you must activate before you can log on"

lame.

i tried the phone thing, denied. wont work on the net connection.

i can get on in safe mode, but i dont know what to do from there.

can anyone help me?
