That really has nothing to do with VPC. You have installed Windows in
the virtual machine and you need to activate that copy of Windows. There is
a problem with activation.

Your best bet would be to post in a newsgroup for the particular OS which
you have installed in the vm, such as

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

or

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general

or whatever.

It is not an error message from VPC, it is an activation error message.
