I installed Windows Server 2003 R2 over the top of a previous installation of Windows Server 2003 that was giving me the blue screen of death with increasing frequency. The new R2 operating system has worked fine with no problems. However there seems to be a bug in the activation code. I cannot activate it and time is running out on my 30 days. When I click on the activation icon, it disappears. I am not given the opportunity to activate. My operating system is going to self-destruct in two days and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Please help.
