Windows XP is stuck in a loop, saying it must be enabled. I never have the wizard or it never activates.

Activation problem

I had to 'fix' a WinXP installation. Now I'm stuck in a loop, saying it must be enabled. I never have the wizard or it never activates. What should I do?

It is same in 'safe mode' (I think that CTRL + ALT + DELETE)? Can you try to connect as administrator account (this account must be in "safe mode" and his name is administrator)

If it the same - next you can try - press F8 during boot and in the menu select ' last good known Configuration":

    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.

  • Updates Windows has been stuck in a loop and had error message update failed, when he restored it deleted my office 2013 at home and students.

    I have the Microsoft product identifier. How can I download it turn it on for my Lenovo thinkpad?

    Hello Tina,

    Thank you for the update.

    As you said that you run refresh and reset the computer this is the reason why the Microsoft Office application that you have installed has been removed after completing the refresh as the applications that came with your PC or you installed on Windows Store will be reinstalled automatically, but all the apps you have installed other Web sites and DVD is deleted. Windows puts a list of applications on your desktop after you refresh your PC.

    After reset, all of your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. All the apps the East came with your PC will be reinstalled, but other applications or programs will be removed.

    So, you will need to reinstall the office application and see if that helps.

    Hope this information helps. Otherwise, feel free to write us again for more assistance, and we will be happy to help you come.

  • Problems connecting to internet - says network cable disconnected, not sure I have the correct driver installed.

    Had a big storm - got the new modem.  but they said that my drivers where missing or damaged.  Downloaded Marvell Yukon of gateway - to the GT5432 model. Always says cable unplugged network. However, Bishop says peripheral device works correctly. Don't save: no update-unable to connect to the internet.  I uninstalled and reinstalled; rebboted, etc. - still nothing. It has a problem with the PCI connection - no driver, but I don't see anywhere to down load or know what to download. Oh and another adapter on - think 1394 - when I turn that on and off the wonder; It shows the signal for the 1394---400 and does not say his unplugged, but still can not connect to internet.
    The "old" computer to try to find information; noticed that said, unplugged network cable but it allowed me to connect to the internet. When I disabled the 'extra' adapter message there went, speed signal only at 100 than at the 'old' calculation is not any other PCI devices connection listed.

    I'm not sure of what continues.

    The 1st computer was working fine - then picked it up to move it to where it belonged to my office and that's when he went out-made no sense to me!

    Because you seem comfortable opening your computer, have you tried re - a corner of the map (with power off, remove the card and reinsert it into the slot, be sure to exercise static precautions if you are in an environment of low-hu7midity).  If there is an empty slot, you can also move the map Marvell to another location.  See the comments below.

    It's a long shot, because even if you did not provide the complete ipconfig output, the data that you have provided appeared to be normal, but...

    Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    Right-click on the icon for your network adapter, and then select Properties
    You should see a screen like this--> http://screenshots.modemhelp.net/screenshots/Windows_XP/Network_Connections/Local_Area_Connection/Properties/General/Index.shtml
    Issues related to the:
    In the upper area, under 'Connect using' said 'Marvell Yukon 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller?  If this is not the case, what does say?

    In the second box, what are the items are listed under "this connection uses the following items"?

    The only other thing I can think is that the Marvell Ethernet card was damaged in the same storm that got your original modem/router.

    *******************************************

    According to Gateway, the GT5432 has 4 card slots:
    A PCI Express x 16 (GUI)
    A PCI Express x 1
    Two PCI Conventional

    Your motherboard should look like this:

    Orange, top, connector is the PCI Express x 16.  You probably have a video card in this slot.

    The short white connector is the PCI Express x 1 connector.

    Two more long white connectors are the standard PCI slots.

    If I understand your installation, you should have the Marvell Yukon map into the slots of two down and your Agere modem on the other.  As long as you have the SMC1244TX PCI card, why don't just remove you the Agere modem or the card Marvell and insert the card CMS in one of the two PCI slots?  You are not using the modem and the working hypothesis is that the Marvell card does not work, so there is not much to gain by leaving a card in your computer.

    Download the user guide and drivers for the SMC here--> http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=viewProduct&localeCode=EN_TUR&cid=9&scid=51&pid=238 map

    Moreover, assuming that your open slot is the short PCI Express x 1 slot, you can buy another Ethernet card that will work in this niche: see--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100010064%20600016290&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=100

    If I were you, I blow up the cheaper models and get the Intel EXPI9301CT $ 36 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps PCI Express Desktop Adapter Gigabit CT.  Note that this is the same card with a similar name (with close to 400 customers) which sells for $29,94.  The price difference is because the cheaper "BLK" letters in the description, which means that it is "sold in bulk" and has no drivers, user guide CD or anything else in the box.  There are several negative comments from people who do not understand this difference and then had trouble finding the driver for the card on the Internet.

  • Windows Movie Maker is not let me download Flip images because I don't have the correct codec?

    I have a Flip video Ultra, model U112OB, and I am trying to download his images on my PC so I can modify it with Windows Movie Maker.  But whenever I try to bring it on movie maker it says: the F:\DCIM\100VIDEO\***+ file. MP4 cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to re-import the file.

    I visited a websight to support customer flip and ordered to download online with windows, but I was not able to find what I'm looking for.

    Any Suggestions?

    First... Download the video in a folder on your hard drive.

    There is some info on the following link:

    Movie Maker and Flip digital camcorders
    http://www.Papajohn.org/mm2-CamcordersFlip.html

    (FWIW in Windows Live Movie Maker 7...) MP4 files
    should be compatible)

    Then, convert the video to the. WMV format.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup260.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup260.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Now, the clamps must be compatible with Movie Maker.

    Good luck.
