Hi

I had a win xp crash, possibly due to power failure. I have repaired xp from
the original disk. Now when I enter an address such as www.google.com into
internet explorer I get the error;

'The requested lookup key was not found in any active activation context.'

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards

Hi John,

What version of browser are you using (or trying to)? IE7 perchance?

If that is the only issue, maybe you can upgrade the browser and be done
with it. However, if you have many other issue, then you may be wasting
your time. Save you data and do a fresh install.

Try using your Widows Explorer instead if IE. Just type the http://.... in
windows explorer and see if you can get the update that way.

Do you have access to another computer, and if so, can you transfer data
between the 2 (CD, Flash Drive etc.)?

If you do, download Firefox or another browser and copy it over to the
broken computer and see if it works.

If you have an XP CD? Open Control Panel. Open Add/remove programs. Click
on,at left, Add/Remove Windows components. In the window if IE is checked
,uncheck it and click "Next". There will probly need to be a reboot.
Now go back to ,Add/Remove Windows components, and check IE/"Next".
With the XP Cd in drive. This should reinstall IE.

That may not flush the registry of the incorrect or corrupted data.
May need to get into the registry and rename the IE software by putting an
"x:" in front of it (just to not delete it). Then IE will not know that
it's been installed and try to install again.
