Guest

Yesterday I uninstalled SP 2 for Windows XP Home Edition then my Pc was
messed up ...
After that I Inserted My Home Edition CD :
Install Windows >> Upgrade Windows then I didint lost any programs or files
but I couldnt update from internet cuz windows were damaged and I didint
have Internet...
After that pc restarted and everything was okey then I started downloading
updates from internet because I had my old Orginal CD version(Windows SP1 and
2002 something)
Now I have all updates except SP2 when I try to install it then Comes Access
Denied and so on...
Now I discovered that I have to Activate My Windows(Thats why accsess
denied?) Again and I searched how do activate Start >> Run >> Accsessories >>
System Tools >>
but I dont have windows activation there...but when is Check
Start >> Run >> Accsessories >> System Tools >> System Information then
System Summary and then I found there Activation Pending 30-days...

Here is the command-line to launch Windows Activation dialog.

%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

Type that in Start, Run dialog.

For the other problem, see here:

You receive an "Access is denied" error message when you try to install
Windows XP Service Pack 2:
