Windows activasion problem

Windows XP
Since installing Broadband this machine keeps threatening to cut me of in
three days.
I reactivated now three times, but I am told every time I switch my computer
on, that my windows
system has been significantly altered and I must reactivate ( sounds like
the b***** Daleks!)
Has anyone a suggestion to fix things?
TIA
Fred

Reboot your computer into "Safe Mode".
While in Safe Mode, rename the wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files located in the
\Windows\system32 folder.

This will force activation on the following boot,
but should remove the message that you are already activated message.
Sometimes if these files get corrupted, they can cause this type of problem.

Thank you both - the m/c has behaved itself since and will use your
suggestions when necessary. Otherwise I'll bother Bill!
So, thanks again
