Get the error message "Windows must be enabled before you can connect. You want to activate now.

Original title: impossible to activate Windows XP

I had to reinstall XP Professional. Now, when I start the computer get a message saying "Windows must be enabled before you can connect. You want to activate now? ». When I click on Yes, the desktop backround sometimes nothing happens. the activation wizard does not open and no error message appears always.

Hi Dale,

Since you are not able to open a session in normal mode, log in in safe mode and perform a few steps that would help you solve the problem.

Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

Perform the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.
a: turn on your PC
b: Press F8 repeatedly , then in Mode safe
c:
Logon as per normal
(Note: administrator password is usually empty, but I hope you know your password)
d: Authorize the Office to load completely (who answered "Yes" to continue mode without failure)
(Note: this is just a long way to say go to Safe Mode)
e: Click Start - run
f:
type exactly: rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk (then click OK)
(Note: a single space after 'rundll32.exe' also the Oo are two letter o in "oobe"; capital and the comma are important)
g: Wait a few seconds (although you won't see any change)
h : Restart your PC normally (start - stop - restart - Ok)
i: You will be able to return to the Normal Mode.

Good day!

Answer please if you have any questions.
