My brother's been having some problems lately with his computer. Just recently he reformatted it. Now whenever he starts his computer he gets the an error message:
This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate windows now? (Yes/No)
When yes is clicked, another message pops up:
Windows is already activated. Click ok to exit.
When ok is clicked, it goes to the log-in screen and says logging off. Any help?
