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?
