For reasons unknown MS is asking me to activate my OS. OK. Fine. When I
run the command "oobe /msoobe /a" absolutely nothing happens. I have a copy
of msoobe in my windows folder, my windows/system32 folder and in my
windows/system32/dllcache folder. I've turned on all sorts of services and
completely deactivated my firewall. What am I missing? Thanks.
 
Copy and paste the following in the Run box,
then hit enter: oobe/msoobe /a

I copied and entered the command in run. Now I get a message saying 'windows
cannot find the command oobe/msoobe'. I did find an error log with the
message
[Failure0]
LoadLibrary=LoadLibrary(OOBE_MAIN_DLL) failed. GetLastError=126
NtCurrentTeb=Teb.LastStatusValue = c0000135. I have no idea what it means
except for the word failed.
 
Hi,

Your slashes are backwards, use:

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

Doesn't matter.

Either your or Carey's way works.

Yup, you're right, it should still work. But he may have an environment
problem as well, so I included the variable.
