I have a Dell laptop with XP sp3 installed and it managed to get some viruses, which after running Malawarebytes quick scan and removing them it won't start up properly.
It came up with the activation of windows box, when i goto activate it says already activated and then just hangs on an empty desktop picture with no icons, taskbar, etc but when trying to reboot into safe mode it says cannot logon because windows needs activating, and so the problem is i am now unable to log into normal or safe mode?
Any help is greatly appreciated, i have also tried to repair the instal but is the same, i am in a right mess with it??
