XP Activation HELP!!!

OMG! Please someone help.

I can't in the life for me get a working 'activated' copy of XP.

I have a XP Pro with SP2 - all installs fine. But tells me 30 days left to activate...

Tried installing retail version, corperate verison.....using the keys I've never had a problem with before but it just wont activate.

I've even tried the student key from here, still telling me to activate.

Do I need to use a XP install disk without SP2 included or something? What am I doing wrong?

Please help :s

wierd i used the student key thing in the downloads on xp sp2 worked a treat for me. i did have to reboot a couple of times but it did work

download widows indego from newsgroups installs and activates no probs

I'm going mad here, this is the 3rd time I've installed XP.

Told the poor woman she could have PC back last night but I just can't activate it.

It's not connected to the internet, I do a format c:, install XP Pro with SP2 - boots up then 2 mins later tells me 30 days left.

When I use the student key program and enter the student key and press modify at the bottom it says scan terminated.....its not actualy changing the key!

When I reboot and re-open the rockXP, click scan its still showing the old key (not the student one I want to use)

I'm proper confuzzled.
