    Ok, ive been using windows xp since it ever came out. I got a IBM Thinkpad r50e... Have it for about 4 months, and its just randomly started coming up with - Activate your windows, you have 7 days left...

    Everytime I boot my computer it comes up with this, it says do you want to activate yes/no...

    So, solution?

    I clicked Yes -
    Your windows is already activated, click ok to continue.

    I click no -
    It just enters into windows like normal...

    This is really anoying, with it keep coming up...

    Any ideas?

    Regards,
    Hunter

    Might not matter, but are you on Service Pack 1, or Service Pack 2?
