WINDOWS ACTIVATION

[Guest]

Recently had the system board replaced, but when I got it back the shop had
failed to update to SP2. Having now done so myself, I get a message that
says I have to activate Windows, and gives me a yes/no option to select.
With either selection, it responds with "Widows already activated" and logs
me off. No difference in Safe mode. Now I can't even get to 1st base and
simply log on - I'm stuck in this silly activation loop. Any suggestions??

It may be that your activation has become "unregistered." Try
this solution, posted by Carey Frisch, MS-MVP:

Possible Resolution:

Boot into "Safe Mode" by pressing (F8) during a reboot.

Go to Start > Run and type: regsvr32 regwizc.dll , and hit enter. Then
go again to Start > Run and type: regsvr32 licdll.dll , and hit enter
again.

Thanks Bruce, for the suggestion, but it had no effect. I[m still caught in
the loop of "must activate"/"already activated." Installing SP2 has crippled
my machine. Think I might take it back to the shop and let them deal with
it, unless others in this forum can provide more suggestions. Thanks again.
