    I just ordered a copy of Windows 7 professional from my school.

    I did a complete clean install with the cd over my XP.

    Installed all the Windows updates, and everything was working fine.

    But, everytime I re-boot my computer it says I need to ACTIVATE Windows 7 which I have already did. It even prompted the Genuine Windows logo in Control panel - System.


    When I click "Activate now online" it would say "successful". Until I restart my computer again ... and it would ask me again to Activate

    Anyone knows what the problem might be?

    thanks,

    In the link :

    Hi

    Since the online activation failed, you will need to perform the activation manually.

    1. Press the Windows Logo Key+R. This will bring up the Run dialog box.

    2. In the Open: box, type slui 4 and press OK. This will start the manual activation wizard.

    3. Select your Country in the drop down menu and click Next.

    4. The wizard will display a Toll Free phone number. Leave the wizard open on the computer and call that phone number.

    You will be given some recorded options. Select the option to talk to a live representative.

    The representative will manually activate that system for you.

    Let us know if you have any more problems



    and I did that too ... then it says ACTIVATED.

    Restart .... and is asking to activate again ... weird

    I had to call in and do this, no problems at all during the process other than the fact that I had to activate by phone. Took like 5-8 min
