I have recently changed MB on my daughter's PC, due to failure of her old MB.
I reconnected all wiring etc, configured BIOS & booted PC into XP SP3. Carried out a repaire install, as XP would not load. Carried out repair install (several times) & rebooted (several times).

XP is asking to activate XP, everytime I boot up. However, the network drivers appear not to be loaded properly, and I am unable to connect to the internet. I am not presented with any re-activation wizard, nor know how to do it. Tried from command prompt, but message returned adv I must activate windows first.

Any idea's please on a workaround, perhaps by re-extending the activation period, so I can get the network drivers sorted.
