I get a message saying "Windows is not activated" if I've already activated it

This is the problem...  My grandfather gave me his old laptop and I did a reformat and re-installed Windows XP Professional.  After you install all my drivers, I have activated Windows by phone and restarted my computer.  Now whenever I start the computer, I get a message telling me to "activate Windows" if I click on Yes and then he told me that "Windows is already activated" and goes to a blank page with no icons, just the mouse pointer and the background.  I already reinstalled the operating system twice now, because the first time I thought that something in the system could be the cause of the problem, but now it's the second time.  I don't know what to do... Thanks for the help in advance

I've done a little more research and found out that if you do not have SP2 it causes the activation screen to keep repeat once you have already activated.  So I installed SP2 and activated Windows, no problem at all.  Thanks for the help.

  • Get the message saying Windows is not genuine

    Hey,.

    The computer is maybe about two years old and it came with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. Yesterday a box emerged telling me my copy of Windows is not genuine. I followed the link and tried the validation thing, but it's on this page for centuries now. I run ESET NOD32 antivirus, Malwarebytes, Super Antispyware and Spybot and nothing but cookies tracker was found on one of them. The only thing linked windows that I've messed around with lately has been uninstall Windows Office. Don't think that this would have caused a screw to the top, but who knows. No idea what could be causing this and how to solve?

    Thank you.

  • Message says: "Windows could not load correctly" then he got the error: "0xa0000001.

    So I recently got these computer errors on my laptop. The pixels on the screen start to panic and it still restarts my computer.

    The first time, he started was when I was playing a game called League of Legends and it worked perfectly fine on my laptop, and he had always run around 70 fps. I played this game for a long time. Then, in the middle of an online game the screen flipped out and restarted my PC! He sent me a message saying: "your PC has encountered a problem :(. "

    After it restarts my laptop and then after restarting the pixels on the screen start to panic again and it restarted. After that restart again once he sent me a message saying he will "fix the problem on my PC. I clicked on 'Repair' and then it restarted again. After the restart he freaked out again and then it restarted and it gave me a message saying "your PC will convert at an early stage when it doesn't have this problem. This can remove files that have been installed recently. So, I allowed it do and after 3 hours of waiting he brought me to an earlier stage if my laptop was not the problem. He only come back in a few hours. Then the next day, I decided to try again in League of Legends, it was working fine and it launched the game. I was running on my normal fps then he started trolling and it fell to 12 frames per second and the screen flipped out again and then my computer restarted. Once restarted, it it worked fine after 5 minutes it restarted again, and then he gave me a message saying: "Windows could not load correctly" then he said I got the error: "0xa0000001. I turned on my PC and my screen has panic when he started, and then it restarted again give the same message and tell you have the error: 'DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER '. It came on again and it was worse still panic then it restarted and it gave me the same message saying that you have the error: "BAD_POOL_HEADER". It restarts and several times with lit the screen always freak out so I decided to just remove the plug and ask for help. I went on the computer of my brother and sought a solution for these errors. Turns out Im not the only one to these errors. They say that '0xa0000001' error is caused primarily by an AMD graphics card and my graphics card is an AMD graphics card. The solution for this error is to uninstall the graphics card and reinstall it directly from the manufacturer's website. I could have made this solution and corrected my graphics card, but there is a problem. Whenever I turn on my laptop the pixels panic and sometimes the screen turns black and then it restarts. I can't access anything whatsoever, and he keeps just restarting. Please help me and tell me how to fix my phone :( I really need a solution to this problem.

    Please answer quickly :(

    Thank you

    There is an old saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    It works again.

    Read this information

    You need to get the Driver of your laptop computer software or a hardware manufacturer, not through Windows Update (with the exception of Microsoft put updated material), as Microsoft normally does nor those have the most recent drivers available as Microsoft leverages the hardware manufacturer 3rd party to provide them.

    Go to the website for your laptop or manufacturing equipment > Driver and Software Support Section > search your laptop or material style number > then your operating system > locate the correct drivers > download and install.

    ______________________________________________________

    But this is no guarantee that this won't happen again.

    Also, it would be that the game hardware requirements are higher than supports the hardware in your laptop.

    It could also be due to lack of graphic material.

    All you can do is search for the latest drivers and play games that require only a material that has your Lapyop.

    See you soon.

  • I get a message saying "Windows cannot open the file...". »

    I had a lot of problems with infections, so I was running many scanning programs.

    After getting my computer almost completely cleaned, I ran the Super Anti-Spyware program.  We find 3 infections, which I'd delete (I don't have no way of knowing that I removed).

    Since then, whenever I try to open a program, or even Windows Update, etc., I get a message saying:

    "Windows cannot open the file.  To open this file, Windows needs to know what kind of program has created.  Windows can go online to search automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs.

    When I go on the web, I get a lot of options, which are almost free scans that then charge for fixing.  I am also very scared that I can also get another infection from these sites.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Yes, each method is a set of measures to try and then go ahead and try each one separate.

    2 method will reset the executable (.exe) extension that will allow you to open programs. It is not clear what exactly you are trying to open so that it can have no effect.

    Keep in mind that the damage caused by malware can be irreversible, in the case of relocations are necessary.

    Method 2:

    Check the link and try to run the troubleshooter and check if the problem persists.
