Why haven't you activated it? That would probably solve your problem right there.
Try I haven't installed my copy of Windows XP Pro in the first place (the machine I'm supposed to install WinXP Pro on hasn't even been fully built yet!). I want to be able run WinXP on a broadband connection without being wiped out by the Blaster, Sasser or other nasty viruses that can be avoided by installing security patches before I install SP2.
