Verifying XP Installation Has Been Activated
Many computers come
with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) versions of XP where the
manufacturer has altered or totally removed options from the
original menus. If the option Activate Windows in Method I isn't
available the same results can be obtained using Method II.
Method I
Navigate through Start
> All Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click Activate
Windows. A window will open that displays the activation status of
the XP installation.
Method II
Click Start > Run and
type [oobe/msoobe /a] (minus the brackets) in the Open: line. A
window will open that displays the activation status of the XP
installation.
