Windows prompts you for the activation

Original title: activation request

I RECENTLY MOVED A COMPUTER OF A PART OF THE HOUSE TO ANOTHER, AND NOW IT ME TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS XP.  WHEN I CALLED THE PHONE ACTIVATION LINE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN WAS NOT A VALID NUMBER.  I GOT THIS COMPUTER FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEM BEFORE.  WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT ACTIVATED?

Hi Hugh,.

Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

If I understand correctly, you are facing a problem with the Windows Activation. I'll help you find a solution, but I need to ask you a few questions.

Do you have any security program installed on the computer? Have you done a recent software or changes to the material on the computer?

This is an excellent article with some good measures to help solve problems with activation. Follow the steps and tell us if it helps.

To do: 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 and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    # You have need Vista compatible drivers - it's the only way it will work.  Installing bad drivers can even to hurt the unit or even your system to not try.  Get a new USB device that works with Vista, and has the correct drivers.

    I hope this helps.

  • Change the password for the Active Directory account that is running VMware VirtualCenter Server

    We have an ESXi5.5 environment and I was instructed to change the password of the Active Directory account is used to run the VMware VirtualCenter Server Service.

    There is a Data Source configured for a separate MS - SQL Server that is configured to use Windows authentication

    I find the Article KB KB VMware: changing the vCenter Server database user ID and password

    On the key: KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc., \VMware VirtualCenter\DB T HE for 2 and 3 values are empty

    It is not quite clear to me if the vpxd.exe Pei command is necessary for our environment (service AD account and Windows authentication) or if it is only if SQL authentication is defined on the Data Source - would anyone have experience with this change and be able to clarify for me?

    Thank you

    Yes you are right,

    but I would suggest to stop the services first before you do the activity, it can take the old password in a few times and lock the conduit to account

    2. once the password is updated, make sure that the login account is updated (is currently running services on the specified user account or local account?)

    If it runs using the specified account, you will need to updated and restart the services.

    3. make sure that the services are running fine and observe for a while, the user account must not get locked.
