I was having a MoBo problem & posted it in another area, but now I've resolved most of my troubles. Except one. After I formatted my disc & booted up, I clicked my name and a box popped up saying I had to reactivate windows or I could not logon. I clicked the "Yes" box & it briefly clicked over to my desktop (about 1/2 sec.) then back to logon screen with the same activation message. It just goes round & round from there...Logon screen, desktop, activate. Once I did a cold start & it let me logon with out the activation screen, went to desktop, but no taskbar & was unable to right click on the desktop or to see task manager using CTRL + ALT + DEL. After about a minute, it went back to the logon screen and proceded with the round & round again. Other than that it's working beautifully!
