231950 2004-04-25 06:35:00 Hello again! Another person has come to me with their problem and made it my own!

He has XP Pro and when he tries to log on this message comes up:

"Windows Product Activation.

Some system files are missing or damaged. You cannot log on at this time. Please use your instillation CD to repair or re-install windows"

I had him go in, in safe mode and try a system restore, but no luck.

He has those stupid recovery CD things (grrrr!) instead of a real copy of windows.

Any advise?
