You need to try it with a PS2 keyboard...

Yes, you need to actvate your Windows O.S. within 30 days of installing, or it will quit working properly. When it asks if you want to activate Windows, click on the affirmative answer. It will have a drop-down box of several different countries. Highlight you country (U.S.) and it will give you 2-3 numbers to call. You will probably want to call the toll-free number. You need to be in front of your computer. The process is quite simple and shall only take 5-10 minutes.
I always activate by phone, because I've had to reactivate the same computer several times, and if I do it over the internet, it will say I've done it too many times and won't let me PROCEED.

hi with regards to drmsucks windows xp has already been activated the day it was installed so why would i need to call ms,

hi there when i turn on my pc i get my log in logo and enter my password then a message appears saying this copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can log on - do you want to activate windows now yes or no
