Activation Screen Freeze

[Guest]

I just upgraded my hard drive to a larger hard drive using Symantec Ghost.

Everything transferred okay and everything is functional, expect I am told I
have to activate in 3 days.

I go to activate and I get the activation screen with no dialogue, no words,
no options, nothing to click on, etc. - so I cannot activate.

This is a system with Dell OEM Millenum that was upgraded to XP Home in 2000.

Boot into safe mode. Click start/run, type "regsvr32 regwizc.dll"
(without the quotes) and
click "ok". Then do the same for "regsvr32 licdll.dll". You should get
a successful message for both and it should resolve the error message.
If not, then try these steps:

Start the computer in Safe mode by hitting F8 at startup. Click
start/run, type regedit and click ok. Expand the branches in the left
pane by clicking the plus (+) signs to reach these keys:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers

Click on the folder representing each key and delete them one at a time.
You may want to create a backup before doing so by clicking file/export
and saving a copy to the desktop. If there is a problem after deleting,
you can put the key back by double-clicking it. If there is no problem,
you can delete the key later. When finished, restart the system
normally after closing the registry editor.

Rock,

Thank you for the help, however it did not solve the issue. I still get the
same dialogue box with nothing to do. Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Sorry I don't. See this link about activation. I don't know if there
will be anything there to help you.
