I bought this new note book computer with Windows XP and a message keeps
popping up on my screen: "5 days to activation. Do you want to activate
now?" What is activation and what happens if I don't activate?

Paul,

You will be issued a key for the product.  Its their way of preventing software piracy.  If you don't activate, it is my understanding the software will stop working.

Here's a link to Microsoft's web site that explains the process:
