Ok well heres the problem,
i was just on my computer when a little box in the bottom right hand corner said "please install updates" so i clicked it and it installed. It said you must restart the computer so i did.
So it went to my login and i tried to log in and it said "This copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate windows now? Yes/No"
if i click no it simply just wont let me log in and when i click yes it brings me to a blue box
and the header says "Activate Windows" and it looks like the box needs to load but it never loads so i cant do anything now and i need my computer to work soon.
Any Suggestions?

What happens when you try to log in to safemode?

 

[Blonde Sumo]

It allows me to lo in
but i still cant do anything about the problem

If you can get in through safemode I would do a system restore and go back to before the problem started.
To get to system restore after logging in to safemode, Go to Start, all programs, accessories, system tools, System restore.
Good luck!

when i go in on safe mode it says cannot do system restore because system restore is turned

To turn on system restore:
Go into control panel, double click system, click on the system restore tab, uncheck turn off system restore, then click apply.
