    I am getting the following message box when I boot up the computer.

    Message: Since windows was first installed on this computer the hardware has
    changed significantly. Due to these changes windows needs to be reacatived
    within 3 days.
    Yes
    No

    This started yesterday evening. There have been no hardware changes to the
    computer of anykind since it was purchased from Dell. It has xphome edition.

    Can anyone tell me what could be causing this? Is it a problem in the
    service program, or udate program?

    Thanks,

    Bob Sellers
