Well, it didn't solve the activation issue but I was able to merge the registry back-up in that way without problems. I tried system restore before also... maybe I will have to go further back... although i don't think that will help. It is a very strange error. Said that I changed my hard-ware that it has to be re-activated, which is wrong because I haven't changed anything at all.

ANyways, I used my clear registry from CCleaner, and made a back up. When I restarted my computer is said that my copy of windows is not activated. I have a real version of windows and this is the first time seeing this. Anyways, I try and re-merge my backup files and it says that this is not a valid Win32 application. I am on windows xp and the back up file name is backup.reg ... I really don't know what to do
