windows activation suddenly needed, windows previously activated

hi,

my computer has windows xp and it was already activated before. now, i'm receiving this message that windows xp needs to be activated. i click yes and it will just log-off.

- i booted in safemode - go.
- checked that there is a reset.bat at C:\windows\repair\reset.bat
- deleted the reset.bat file, unchecked it under msconfig and restarted - nogo.
- tried system restore - nogo.
- tried last know config - nogo.
- tried chkdsk /r - nogo.
- tried safemode with networking - nogo.

inside reset.bat is the ff:

@echo off
Rem: Brought to you by: By the best, The only
Rem: people that did it.
Rem: AngelDeath, Epyx, Slanchoca, DopeWeasel, Meph.
Rem: The now Famous 5.
batch.cmd
inuse.exe security %systemroot%\system32\config\security /y >nul

any assistance will be much appreciated.

thanks,
:rolleyes: jaycckan
