Problem logging into windows xp

[silvrgummy]

I have been using virtual box for about 6 months now and it has given me many problems I have been able to fix until now.
There have been other problems other than this but those are for another time.
Every month windows xp would say that I have 30 days to activate windows.
By the end of the 30 days I would be trapped in this endless loop of it telling me that the 30 day period was up and to activate it now. Then if I said yes it would say windows is already activated, bringing me back to the login screen thus beginning the endless cycle again.
I ended up having to every month having to go into safe mode, type in command prompt
regsvr32 regwizc.dll
regsvr32 licdll.dll
rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

And then that would reset the licensing system or something and I would be ok for another month
For some reason this month it shows something different. It shows:
A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the status of the license for this computer. To proceed you copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft.
Do you want to activate Windows now?

Then it gives me the endless loop except this time running the 3 commands into safe mode command prompt doesn't fix it.
Also note that I had recently switched computers as one died and transferred over the virtual box files to virtual box on the new computer.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Moved to "Windows Guests".

You should contact Microsoft about Windows activation issues. XP is one of the most popular guest OSs among VirtualBox users, so I'm quite sure there is no general problem. The usual reason for not being able to activate is that it's an OEM copy requiring (say) a Dell BIOS, or a Win7 XP mode copy, requiring a Win7 host.
