Hi,
You will probably have to repair your activation wizard. To repair the
Activation Wizard:
1. Restart the computer, press F8 during startup, and then select Safe Mode
from
the Startup menu.
2. Log on to the computer as an administrator.
3. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
4. Click Start, click Run, type "cmd" (without the quotation marks), and
then
press ENTER.
5. At the command prompt, type "cd \windows\system32" (without the quotation
marks), and then press ENTER.
6. Expand the original files from the Windows XP CD-ROM. To do so, type the
following commands at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each command:
expand d:\i386\licwmi.dl_ c:\windows\system32
expand d:\i386\regwizc.dl_ c:\windows\system32
expand d:\i386\licdll.dl_ c:\windows\system32
expand d:\i386\wpabaln.ex_ c:\windows\system32
ren wpa.dbl wpa.old
expand d:\i386\wpa.db_ c:\windows\system32
7. Copy the files you expanded in step 6 into the Dllcache folder. To do so,
type the following commands at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each
command:
copy c:\windows\system32\licwmi.dll c:\windows\system32\dllcache
copy c:\windows\system32\regwizc.dll c:\windows\system32\dllcache
copy c:\windows\system32\licdll.dll c:\windows\system32\dllcache
copy c:\windows\system32\wpabaln.exe c:\windows\system32\dllcache
8. Register the DLL files that "xp2600NO_WPA_fix(universal)" unregistered.
To do
so, type the following commands at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after
each command:
regsvr32.exe licwmi.dll
regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll
regsvr32.exe licdll.dll
exit
9. Click Start, click Run, type "regedit" (without the quotation marks), and
then press ENTER. View the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Add a DWORD value to this key that is named "Activation Required", and then
set the value of this DWORD to 1 (dword:00000001).
10. Restart your computer.
If the steps above do not help, try the following:
1. Log in as the local Administrator
2. Click Start > Run > and type in Regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\wpaevents
4. In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify
5. Change at least one digit of this value to deactivate Windows
6. Click OK and close regedit
7. Click Start > Run and type in: "%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a"
8. Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to
activate Windows, and then click Next
9. Re-activate your operating system
You are prompted to activate Windows every time you restart your computer
