Kept getting prompted to activate but nothing would happen. I called Microsoft and they bounced me around literally for hours. I left my pc on stuck for weeks. Lucky break.. Norton monthly report popped up tonight. I was able through a "find file" option in Norton insight to briefly access windows long enough to try to force activation and got this error...did a look up and found this and other posts ...didn't think it fit what was happening but I tried the fix anyway and rebooted... What had happened.... the fresh install of xp sp3 came installed with IE 6 when the old install had IE 8 and some of the files and registry tags for IE8 were still there. so doing the fix restored ALL the files and registry entries back to IE 6 and I was able to get in... doing windows update now... YAY!!! THANK YOU!!! I had a weird problem after installing XP sp3 over a bad copy of sp3.
