Guest John Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Hi, My company have a few hundreds of Kiosk with operating system windows xp sp2. The Automatic Update is on. All the Kiosk cannot access internet, only LAN. So effectively cannot automaticly update itself. All the XP have been activated before. Running for a few months without problem. Then sometimes some computers would pop up a message "This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on". Why is the problem occur? Any method to fix it? Thanks. Regards, Bill

Guest tienhuat@gmail.com Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Re: recurring windows activation problems Hi Kelly, Thanks for the reply. I read that article too, but unfortunately we uses the bare Windows XP. The problem is very weird, can I already searched through the internet but still cannot find any reason for the Message to Prompt for Reactivation. For your information, after we reactivate the xp again, we do not receive any more problem for that particular computer. Regards, John.
