DD not work on unactived XP

[DougSchuess]

I have discovered that DD will not start on a XP Home system that has not been activated. I have tried on several virtual systems, but it only runs on the one preactivated XP Pro that came with Windows Virtual PC (host system is Win7). All others show a momentary hourglass and a taskbar entry, and then nothing; no message is displayed. Let me know if there is any information that I can supply to resolve the problem.
