converted windows xp physical machine to virtual machine now xp asks for re-activation
hi...
ive created a virtual machine out of my windows xp computer and XP noticed that i'm using a different processor / systemboard .... so it's giving me the error message:
Since windows was first activated on this computer, the hardware on the computer has changed significantly. Due to these changes, Windows must be reactivated within 3 days. Do you want to reactivate windows now?
i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed a way to either bypass, activate legitimately (per microsoft), or crack the activation so it doesn't show up or deactivate my windows
the computer i converted to a physical machine was real slow but has all my important programs and files so i really need this to work
thanks in advance

Select "Activate by phone" and you'll get a phone number from Microsoft.
Over the weekend a robot will answer, you type in the code you see on the screen and it will give you another code that you will input to re-activate your machine.
