To launch the Activation utility manually use Start - Run and enter the following command in the dialog box: %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A Note: You can probably abbreviate this command to just: c:\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A If that does not work then you may need to repair the registration of the .dll files used for activation: Use Start- Run and enter the following text in the dialog box: regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll Then do it again with the following text: regsvr32.exe licdll.dll Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
