I installed XP on my iMac but when i turn it on and try to log on it says I have to register my account before i logon. So when i click register it says that i am unable to because it cant connect to the internet. But my internet is fine.
It should give you an option to activate by phone or internet. I had to do the same thing today with a computer that was connected to the internet. It would say it could not connect so I had to call. It is an automated machine that is voice activated. All you do is call the # on the screen, it will tell you what to do, and then type in the activate number that is on the screen into the phone. Then the "voice" will read a number back to you and you type it in on the computer. Very easy!
Hope you figure it out!
