• "This copy of Windows must be enabled before you can login."

  We have a laptop with Windows XP we have used for a while without problems.  All of a sudden, we get a box to activate product windows that we never had before, demanding that "this copy of Windows must be activated before you can connect."  No new software has been installed recently, so this seems very strange.  Is this a virus or is it true?

  These steps will work as long as the PC has only one user profile, and to Internet Explorer 8 is installed.

  In my case, I:
  (1) the steps already listed here, with an adaptation: safe mode: command prompt
  "Start in"Safe Mode".  To do this, turn on the laptop, and then press F8, as it is booting up.  Passes in 'Safe' Mode by selecting the option 'Safe Mode'. * Safe Mode command prompt *.
  Once you're on the office in 'Safe Mode', click 'Start' then click on 'run '.
  At the command prompt run type the following EXACTLY

  Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

  (2) restart the PC and start back in Safe Mode command prompt.
  (3) on a separate computer, download IE8 for WinXP and put it on a USB key. I renamed the file IE8install to make it easier later.
  (4) plug the USB on the problematic PC
  (5) in the command prompt installing IE8. Your USB drive letter may be different. If e: does not work, try f: etc until you find the right one.
  type e: * enter *.
  ie8install.exe * enter *.
  (6) complete the installation, restart the PC, and you should be good to go.

Any ideas what is happening?

• This copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue

  Hi guys

  After P2V Windows 2003 Storage Server 2003 x 64

  I get this message "this copy of windows must be activated with microsoft before you can continue."

  and I am not able to connect to the server and I can not activate because the NETWORK card won't work - since without vmware tools.

  no idea why this is happening?

  VMware converter 5

  Thank you very much

  This can happen due to the material Exchange when you P2V. Is there not an option to activate by phone? If this is not the case, take a look at the virtual machine settings to see if the NETWORK card is 'E1000' which should be recognized by Windows 2003 out of the box.

• My old PC of eight year THAT XP came with the message that says that my copy of Windows must be activated.

  My system is 8 years old XP. I installed all the updates that are offered by Microsoft. No new material has been added since more than a year. I now get a message telling me that my copy of Windows must be activated. This happens in normal Mode and safe mode with networking. Is this a ransom trojan or MS did wobbly in the updates as Genuine MS debacle (DIS) advantages of the other? The Messages I have 3 days where activation!

  Your tips for solving this would be appreciated.

  Dear Noel

  Thanks a lot for your information and advice.

  Ironically, I did not clean ups for fear of screwing it up.  However, I just bought a helmet camera and plugged into the USB to test its audio and video capabilities.  Perhaps that may be the problem.  Next time I'll just use the SD card reader.

  I right click on the Hydroforme icon which has been remember to activate.  Who took me through various routines that finally pointed out that the version of Windows I have is no longer for sale.  He then offered to sell me a current equivalent of Windows 7.  Unwilling to part with the money right away, I did a reboot and followed by the option activate who came.  It's very simple and work very well without fees.

  So, I'm now a "happy bunny".  Thanks a lot for your quick help.  Very much appreciated.

  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.

• This copy of Windows is not activated. After replacing the hard drive. The activation window is empty.

  The activation window is empty. XP Pro SP3 + System (2 updates the version) beta of SP4 added due to problems of program. Build 2600.xpsp + sp3_gdr_101209-1647(Service Pack 3). Problem started after the replacement of the boot hard drive that wasn't. New drive has been a ghost of the old boot copy and active. Having the disk key and product to install but the CD won't deal with any problems indicating that the version of the program is different, probably because of upgrades SP. The program disk is that Windows XP Professional Service pack 2 Version 2002, Ref. 0304 x 10-52217 and has passed many tests for over the years of downloads genuine microsoft software.
