Activation Oddity
I pre-ordered 7 professional upgrade from Newegg and installed it on a dual boot with XP Pro. Everything went smoothly and all was well. Periodically the "windows is not activated" appears on the lower right hand corner of the desktop. When I right click my computer and choose properties it initially says windows is not activated and all by itself switches to windows is activated and the "windows is not activated" message disappears from the desktop. This happens periodically and then goes away by itself. Today I returned home to see a new prompt saying that I might be a victim of counterfeit software and a link to go activate windows. Once again I right click my computer and everything is resolved. Anyone have an idea what causing this?
Thanks
