Ugh... That is not the moral of the story by a long shot.
Personally, I'm amazed the anyone would "register" or "active" their
software in order to use their computer. Even worse, I can't imagine
anyone troubleshooting a failed activation process.
The moral of the story is "You need to reclaim your computer".

computer)

" I just brought my laptop back to the shop. It was under 90day warranty.
" I had a larger drive installed and win XP pro with Norton (what)virus utility.
"
" I was having a problem with Win XP Pro. It kept telling
" me to activate the software reg.and each time I tried
" it would come back and say it was already activated.
"
" I asked my comp tech "why Is it that I only had two viruses,
" all of last year, on my win 98SE and I already got FIVE viruses
" on WIN XP Pro?"
"
" His answer:"Virus attackers are spending less time cracking into older systems
" they are spending more time hacking into the newer systems."
"
" (I guess this means that "the thrill is gone" for hacking older systems!)
"
" MORAL OF THE STORY- always use an older version of Microsoft windows;
" your less liable to get a virus, but your system will be unsupported by Microsoft!
