Activation XP worked, but won't connect to administrator

Installed WinXP Media Center brilliant MS CD off a PC now melted in recycling. HDD formatted in NTFS. Install was OK. Called to activate, and which seems to have worked the first time.

Now start the system stops to ask me to activate Windows [Yes] [no].

If not it logs a user Admin off & on again once.

If yes the screen activation says its already active and record off & on again once.

I feel a loop here. Does anyone have experience of the way out?

Thank you.

If the original PC was Media Center and was scrapped, then all install on a new machine is not valid - ALL Media Center licenses were OEM and as such cannot be transferred to a new computer.

    • Scenario 1: You recently set a new password for the protected administrator account. However, you don't remember the password.
    • Scenario 2: You type the correct password. However, Windows Vista or Windows 7 does not accept the password because the system is damaged.
    • Scenario 3: You delete a protected administrator account. Now, you cannot connect to another administrator account.

  • My PC see my iPod with Bluetooth, but won't connect. PC operating system is Windows 7.

    My PC see my iPod with Bluetooth, but won't connect. Otherwise, my cell phone LG 160 performs. Is the problem with the PC or iPod?

    Thank you.

    You have to ask Apple.

    If your PC is to see the phone very well, so I doubt that there is nothing wrong with the Bluetooth on the PC functionality.

    I would check with Apple, first to ensure that your generation of iPod has this feature, then see why he connects to a functional PC.

  • Why can't connect me to my network to work, but I can connect to my home netwrok

    A few weeks ago, I went into labor, connected to the network.  After doing other work, I went back to my computer typed a document and press only to notice that I was no longer on the network.  There was no interruption in power, the computer does not cut: he was sitting on my desk.  At this time there, the network wouldn't let me turn it on again.  I would get a message saying: he can't connect because it timed out or due to the action of the user.  I rent a space in a small office - there is no information TECHNOLOGY staff.  The landlord had someone and have reconnected.  I could connect the next time I was in the office with no problems.  A week after I got back on the same thing happened, and even once I can't always on.  There is someone else coming into the office during this period (I'm with a patient when she arrives so it is in the same time of 30 minutes each week, the same day) and I wonder if when she connects could it be me?  The other day I work, I'm the only one in the office, and when this was corrected at the first time that I could get that day without incident. No one else has this problem-, but they're working on the time where that other person is not in or it's already here and connected when they arrive.  What can I do for this fis.  From now on, they tell me this is my problem and that it must be my computer but I can't connect to my home network without problem.  I am getting very frustrated because I need to go to print documents or really work on something outside to see my patients.  What could be the problem?  I think the last time that he has been fixed, they reset the router, but they won't touch me any equipment.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

    To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

    1. how many users is configured on the computer?

    2 are logged as administrator?

    3 have you logged on a domain?

    4 is it a cable or a wireless connection?

    5. you have any antivirus installed on the computer program?

    6. are you aware of any recent software or hardware on the computer changes?

    You can disable temporary, your security software and check.

    How can I turn on or turn off the firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later versions?

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    You can also try the steps and check if it helps. (You must be logged on as administrator to run the steps)

    a. Click Start.

    b. click on run

    c. type cmd.exe, and then press ENTER.

    d. type the following commands, and press ENTER.

    ipconfig/flushdns

    ipconfig/registerdns

    ipconfig/release

    ipconfig / renew

    You can also see the article , if you are using a wireless connection.

    Hope this information was helpful and let us know if you need help in the future about Windows. We will be happy to help you.

    Hello world

    I have an Inspiron 700 m with an Atheros 5006 wireless card. A few days ago it just stopped working. I thought it fried so I handed the OEM Intel ABG card and had the same problems of connection. In the network connections screen, he is listed as "not connected, firewalled.

  • Updated network adapter disabled cached connections domain administrator to reactivate

    We had to happen to a couple of computers now. We have a computer lab of the school where the children connect with domain accounts (non-administrative) standard. Somehow, the Ethernet adapter is disabled, and we cannot turn it back on the computer because the local administrator is disabled and domain administrators get the error 'no server connection '. The student login still works, but none of the accounts administrator or same laboratory teacher connections. Administrator accounts have been used on the computer before, but not cached for that specific situation.

    Kind of a catch 22. To do admin account to enable network access, need to access in order to authenticate the admin on the domain network server.

    So, what do we do?

  • How long should a computer be connected to the internet for activity at work?

    I have the laptop of my son with a nonadministrator account set up in family safety.  My son rarely connected to internet (no wireless).  When it connects, it's usually to print her homework.  I know it's a network activity, but very little.  Family safety always reports that there is no activity (web, application, etc.).  I tested his account and I know that it works correctly.  My hunch is that it is not stay connected long enough for that follow-up activity to work right.  Please notify.  I have a similar situation with my daughter, but she spends a little more time on the internet.  His reports seem to be more accurate than my son.

    Hi JTB_GP,

    Security for the family needs a consistent internet connection to make it work properly. The parental control client relies heavily on this so that the settings of the site and the activity on the computer are sent to both ends. Since your son is rarely connected to internet, settings and information from both ends cannot be synchronized properly. We are unable to determine how long you must be connected to internet for the parental controls work properly.

    Thank you!
