Suddenly two days ago I received a message when connecting my widows xp pro Sp2 to be "activated".

I bought this pc about three years ago and it is loaded with an oem version. Whenever I have the box to go ahead and activate widows, my pc just sits there with an activation screen blank and never generates the necessary code to continue. What is happening and why it seeks to activate now. I do not have any hardware changes to this machine other than to replace the hard drive about a year ago. Recently, I started to go to windows update site may be why this behavior started?

Hi Billetpete,

Thanks for posting. If you have an OEM version of XP, you must contact the OEM of this computer on the license and support options. However, also try the following because this will force Windows to try to reactivate.

Hi 4548,

Thanks for posting. Proceed as follows to enter your product key. If this does not work, you will need to speak with the seller on the media with this key getting.

  1. Click on Start and then run.
  2. Open, type regedit in the text box and click OK to run the registry editor program.
  3. In the left pane, find and then click the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current WPAEvents

  4. In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click change.
  5. Change at least one digit of this value in the value data to deactivate Windows.
  6. Click Startand then click run.
  7. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK:

    %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

  8. When the Windows Product Activation window appears, click Yes, I want to telephone a customer technician to activate Windows, and then click Next.
  9. Click change product key.
  10. Type the new product key in the new key boxes, and then click Update.

    If you return to the previous window, click remind me later, and then restart the computer.

  11. For the average user OEM system or the volume license product key (VLK), repeat steps 6 and 7 to verify that Windows is activated. The user should receive the following message: Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.

Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

I hope this helps!

  • Two days ago Windows 7 Pro has suddenly become non-genuine

    Two days ago, I started having a window informing me that Windows 7 Pro on my laptop is not valid. I ignored it, thinking it was just a fluke and would solve itself. There is, unfortunately, no.

    I bought my laptop on eBay a few years ago. The COA reads as follows:

    Windows 7 Pro OA

    Lenovo Singapore

    X 15-53895

    and my product key. I confirmed that the product in use key is the same as that on the certificate of authenticity.

    I followed the instructions on this article http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/getting-error-code-0x8004fe22-stating-windows-is/b42a0ab8-0e75-484f-901e-79ae206b4c12

    The window is now gone, but in its place is the next on my screen (bottom-right):

    Windows 7

    Build 7601

    This copy of Windows is not genuine

    As I continued to work on this issue, I realized that I now also have the same problems as others have described in the article https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/be3ed187-8ad9-41c8-aab4-3c8a4c81fb48/windows-activation-service-sluiexe-does-not-run-when-started-error-0x8002801d-please-help?forum=genuinewindows7

    I.e. Windows Activation Service (slui.exe) does not work on startup. 0x8002801D error.

    I crossed the fundamental Event Viewer logs and determined at least when this problem happened first. This is the first instance of anything related to the activation failure.

    Sounds strangely like a factory system recovery has been performed on the computer. In this case all the user files would have been erased and Windows 7 on this computer would have been restored to their original state when you bought, IE. all the updates of Windows later need to be reinstalled.

    Some of these updates are prerequisites for installing other updates and updates require reboot also before the next update can be installed. That's why you get the scenario of 134 updates being downloaded at a time but only a fraction of them actually being installed. The next time you go to Windows Update is uninstalled him appears once again, sometimes including some new ones that appear only now because their preconditions are met.

    Select the updates to be installed in smaller batches may save a bit of time re-download.

  • Anybody have the same bug bit of lag with Wacom and photoshop cc from Yosemite installed two days ago?

    HY everybody,

    I just installed Yosemite on my mac two days ago.

    27' iMac, with 32 GB of ram... so I actually not lag issue.

    I use a Wacom Intuos 4. Last driver installed yesterday.

    But since the upgrade to Yosemite, there's a bit of lag but horrible bug when I touch the wacom with my stylus.

    Please help me!

    Alex

    After the installation of Yosemite and faced with the delay of two weeks, I spent a week on all the forums trying to find a solution, then I spoke with several representatives of the customer service of adobe and wacom.  According to a representative of adobe, wacom drivers are not completely comparable with yosemite, but they hope to be soon. I finally uninstalled and resettled yosemite mavericks, November 2014 wacom cintiq driver and photoshop CC 2014 and now my machine is like new.

  • Since the installation of the last Photoshop CC updated two days ago, Auto Blend to focus stacking is to select all pixels of the background layer instead of those of the better development of each layer. Also has anyone seen this problem?

    I installed the latest update of Photoshop CC on my Macbook Pro two days ago, and now when I try to focus stacking by opening several photos and make Auto Align and Auto mix, mixture selects the entire background layer instead of select areas of the development of each layer. I tried again on a series of images where it worked a week ago, and the problem occurs. I have Photoshop on a Windows 8 machine and did not apply this last update and it works fine. If anyone else has experienced this?

    And we now have the new version!  2014.2 is out and it's fine to focus stacking and Photomerge.

  • About 4 days ago, my microphone on my headset was working fine. Then about 2 days ago it wouldn't work when I tried to talk with my friends in Ventrilo.

    Original title: Input device does not, worked very well last week, have not changed anything
    Hey all,.
    About 4 days ago, my microphone on my headset was working fine. Then about 2 days ago it wouldn't work when I tried to talk with my friends in Ventrilo.
    At first, I thought it was micro but then Ventrilo sent me an error message stating that it was in fact my input device and not my mic, so I tested my microphone on my Macbook and it works fine with that.
    For some reason, the two MIC (front and back) on my PC does not work, I've tested with Sound Recorder and I get a signal, but only few clicks and static. What is strange, is my mic doesn't work, but both of my sound entries are, I can hear sound through my speakers and my helmet which is plugged into the front of my PC. It's as if my PC has somehow isolated both of my microphone inputs and only them turned off but who does not seem plausible given that I don't know that the whole card wouldn't work if there was a problem with her.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled Realtek HD Audio Manager.
    I tried to update the drivers, but they say they are all 'up-to-date '.
    I feel there is something wrong with control pilots the microphone inputs on my PC. Strange thing is, I haven't changed anything the week last in terms of sound with my PC. I installed a new game, but that's all.
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
    See you soon.
