Windows Product Activation

[Mike Warren]

I've had my computer for about a year with no problems. I
went to boot it up today and i had a windows product
activation error.
It read:
Windows Product Activation
A problem is preventing Windows for accurately checking
the license for this computer. Error code:0x800700c1
It doesn't give me a chance to put my license code back
in, and i am stuck in the login screen. What can i do to
fix it so i can get to my desktop?

I tried what the article said, booted in safe mode and
went into my registry. My registry doesn't contain a
Cryptography section in it. The farthest i can get in my
registry is Microsoft, and i was supposed to delete the
keys:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Provid
ers
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20
\software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
I was unable to do this.
Also, the article you gave me refers to an error message
of:
Error Code : 0x80070002.
My error code consists of:
Error Code : 0x800700c1.

Maybe that'll help you help me.
Thank you.
