I'd keep trying to figure out a way to log back on. More details would be helpful!!

The 'warning' comes up even booting from the cd. I've tried Safe Mode, going into BIOS, etc. and can't get past the "Activation" request, which comes up right after Windows appears to be opening.
Nope, can't activate what it asks to be activated.
Son is right now using the Knoppix to retrieve some files and archive them into his Google account. We have externals, but he says he can't retrieve the files without "partitioning" them. Photos can't be retrieved so far-looks like we'll have to use Knoppix to upload them into Flickr.
