I have a computer that I haven't used in months because of some remodeling of my room and stuff.

Anyways, I originally got this computer from a friend. It came with Windows ME. Then I got in a position where I needed the Windows ME disk, but I didn't have it because the person that gave me the computer was an idiot.

So my dad download Windows 98 into it, and upgraded it to Windows XP Home Edition. Well my computer was starting to say, "you have this many days until blah blah blah expires, and Windows XP needs to be activated or 'registered' ." So I tried to log onto my computer and it won't let me log on until I "activate" this Windows XP. The trouble is...I can't.

So is there anyways of getting the Windows out of my computer system without logging onto my computer???

Please...ideas would be great!
