[Xen-users] Activating XP but it doesn't retain the activation

[Jean Redfearn <jean_redfearn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having problems with MS Windows (what a surprise!).  I'm running Xen on a quad core intel 9450 with 8gb ram using Red Hat (xen.gz-2.6.18-92.el5 & vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.el5xen).
I've installed XP using HVM  in an image file and separately on its own partition.  Both installs went normally with no surpises.  However, after the install is complete and I am logging on for the first time, Microsoft wants me to activate.  I go through the activation process, get the success message and it logs out.  Then, it start over...I log in, it wants to activate, etc...  It doesn't seem to matter how I activate (online or on the phone),  It doesn't retain the activation.

Config file:
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
