XP activation
 

I have installed window xp media center edition by using key from my
freind which need to be activated. I did at that time using some
crack. It worked fine for 2-3 months. but now all of a
sudden, i recieve the infamous activation loop problem that goes as
follows.. ( may be I have been using update window all the time)

your copy of windows is not activated please do so (click ok)
your copy of windows has been activated (sends back to logon screen)
and repeat. i cant go into the system.

But I can go through safe mode.is there anyway i can get past this
problem because i have gigs
of music and photos that i cant afford to lose.

what I was thinking of either

1. Changing the key by going into registry (through safe mode) if
possible
2. Try some other valid key.

Please give me some solution to overcome this problem

Thanks in anticipation

Buy a copy of MCE and perform a repair installation. In any case, you are
in the wrong newsgroup. This ng is for 64bit operating systems, of which XP
Pro x64 is only one. Your copy of Windows is 32bit.
