My windows XP keeps asking me to activate it, even though I have already

OK, I already activated my version of XP, and the computer knows what when I click Yes to activate the operating system, I'm greeted by, "windows is already activated. Click OK to exit. However, whenever I try to click on OK, I'm on a roll back to the login screen, and when I try to log in again, it asks me to activate windows again!

Hi Peter,.

I suggest to refer to the article and follow the steps that will help you with the activation number:

 

Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

For more information about how to back up the registry, see the link:

  • DLI keeps asking for a document recovery, even though the document was retrieved successfully.

    A few weeks ago a document crashed DLI. It was recovered successfully. However, the software kept asking them to pick it up at random times. We have deleted it out of the InDesign recovery folder. We also renamed the file. But he always invites to retrieve the document at random times. It's more annoying than a real problem. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

    Empty InDesign recovery folder in the library of the user or the user profile must stop him.

  • Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to the internet even though I have full WiFi access.

    Original title: Windows 8.1 and cannot connect to internet even though I have full WiFi access-problem occurred just after working fine for over a year

    Uses Windows 8.1 for over a year with no access to the internet.  Today, I can access is no longer the internet using Explorer, Mozilla Fire Fox or store apps.  (Tried to install a game just to test the internet connection-no luck).  When I try to connect the computer just sits there with the indicator connection just spin but never passes through.  I have good indicated WiFi (Internet) access.  While they inspected the updates, the only thing that appears on the current date is some Microsoft Silverlight is.  Could that that may cause my problem?  I didn't do any changes and have no problem until today.  I'm not always well informed in this area and I am at a total loss as to how to proceed, what to check... hope someone can advise me.   Thank you, DebbieG211

    Hi Debbie,.

    You might face this problem because of wrong settings in Internet Explorer. You mentioned that you get the update of windows Microsoft Silverlight, so we can deduce that there is a problem with the Internet browser. Please write us with the following details.

    (1) do you get error messages when all websites fail to load?

    (2) what is the brand and model of your computer?

    Why can't I connect to the Internet?

  • Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password, and even if they are correct he still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info

    That makes me MAD! Windows Mail - checking the user name and password &!

    It makes me crazy.

    For the last few days my Windows Mail keeps asking for my username and password and even if they are correct it still doesn't and comes repeatedly asks me for the info again and again. I deleted the account mail twice now and re added it but it still does not work. I can send emails but not receive. I have McAfee but I aiinstalle only this yesterday so that isn't the problem. the error message is:-
    Account: 'mail.talktalk.net', server: 'mail.talktalk.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR Authentication failed.', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92

    Please help I need to retrieve my emails! Thanks, Sarah

    McAfee is a huge problem with Windows Mail.  See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 if you want to use, wait until you get the job of Winmail.

    Check if you can connect webmail and that works very well and it's not a problem on the end of the server messaging or because of misspelled powers.  Then delete your account in WinMail, compact and repair the database (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and make sure that you have disabled the e-mail analysis then add your account to mail back again and see if it works.

  • Windows Messaging keeps asking for a user name and password. What should I do?

    Windows Mail keeps asking for a user name and password.  I know that the username and password are good because I can access mail via the web.  I have two e-mail accounts.  Saturday, I installed 23 updates of windows.  Now today, I can't get into windows mail.  Why?

    Error message:

    Hello

    I am happy that it works.

    It is perhaps that this has nothing to do with your system, but a 'problem' in the e-mail server of the provider.

  • Solitaire for Windows on Xbox cannot connect to internet even though I have an excellent signal.

    My Windows Solitaire Collection challenges abruptly stopped connected to the internet, even though I have an excellent signal with all the bars.  It is also important to me to play Wordament.  I tried the troubleshooting, but that did not help.
    Thank you

    I ran this app above and that seemed to help to the function "store".  I still could not connect that I was getting the same error message, cannot connect to Xbox.  I rebooted and went from Microsoft Solitaire app rather than the icon section and it seemed to work... until now.

    I hope this helps me now and good luck to anyone else having this problem.  Try this link it seems to release something, but it works now.

    a. Click Start, click computer.
    b. right-click on the drive that refers to the external hard drive, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the Security tab, select Administrator under "user or group names."
    d. under permissions, allow full control and click ok to apply the changes.
    e. open the drive and try to access the files.
