splat XP keep asking for reactivation

I recently upgraded my kids system with a new motherboard, i reformatted the drive and loaded the OS, and when i got it connected to the net i activated it. after that i loaded my anitvirus program, PandaIS2006, things seemed to be going well, well im connected to the net via USB wifi adaptor so i decided to disable the onboard lan in the BIOS. and then the issue begins, i flags me for reactivation because of hardware change, so i call and get it reactivated and where all set...Not!.. I wake up this am and fire it up and it flags me again for a reactivation due to hardware change, but ofcourse nothing has been changed. any ideas? should i wipe it clean again and do it over?

Couple of possibilities:

Repeatedly Prompted to Complete Activation for Windows XP Media Center Edition After You Enter Product Key

System Information Reports that the Operating System is Pending Activation for Limited and Guest Users
