XP Home SP3 will not activate after reinstalling

I tried to fix a Dell Dimension B110, who had a failed hard drive.  Received the Dell installation discs to reinstall.  Once the installation is finished cannot get in the log on screen before you get the message "this copy must be activated with Microsoft before you can log in. You want to activate Windows now? Yes or no"and it goes no further.  Have answered Yes and let it go all day at work; has got the same question when I woke it upwards!  Of obviously cannot get in the Activation Wizard to get the phone number to call to activate and it doesn't seem to be a listing on microsoft.com.  So, how can I solve this?

Hi pdnzip,

I recommend you contact Microsoft customer support for assistance Service team. They will help you to connect to the Microsoft activation service for the.

Hope the helps of information.

  • Computer will not activate after installing XP SP2 repair

    I see a lot of people have posted on this subject, and some have set.  I did a repair of an old computer installation.  At the start, it says I need to activate my copy of XP.  It just hangs.

    I can boot into safe mode (but not with networking).  I followed the 312295 article, which had me do the following

    1 regedit-localmachine-software... - winnt - winlogon - notify delete RESETS (there was none this entry, so I didn't do anything)

    2... regedit wpaevents OOBETimer 'Edit' (don't know what you mean about a hex file editing, so I just delete a line)

    3 renamed WPA.dbl

    4 extended wpa.db_ from wpa.dbl installation disc (ran OK)

    5 looking for any reset5.* or srvany.exe (no current)

    6 restart the computer.

    The same problem.   Still will not start.  Any other ideas?

    Some recommend to replace IE 8.  I'm certainly willing to do that - except my installation disc is a version of SP2.   So, how can I get a version of SP3 to install in safe mode?   (I download from another computer, but I don't know which version to get).

    Why I installed? There was no failure, but because after 8 years of use the computer was bogged down so he could barely work.

    But if this was justified is besides the point, because it is already done.

    I installed SP3.  I Redid the things listed above.

    I still get the message saying to activate windows and it crashes whenever I try.

    So I took the advice of others, installed IE8 in safe mode.  Upon restart, it worked!  (An arisen window asking me to activate, I said yes and it worked.

    This window looked like IE8 material - probably at the heart of the problem.

    Problem solved.

  • Pavilion dv6: Intel Centrino Wireless - n 2230 will not activate after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Model A3E82AV number

    I've been avoiding Windows 10 because I knew something like this was going to happen, but I took the pludge.  Anyway, everything seemed to work but my wireless adapter.  After the upgrade, the rocker on the keyboard turns on and outside airplane mode, and I can't switch to map wireless in Windows settings.

    I can get wireless adapter to turn on, go into that in a minute, but if I shutdown or reboot, the problem returns.

    I had success in the driver update, or by manually installing the driver, I even read a tip to make the battery, hold the power button down while the battery is out and run it upwards.  I tried to reset the BIOs to default settings.  When the computer feels like it, the wireless adapter will start working after a reboot.  If I have the toggle switch, the light goes from orange to white, I can then activate wireless and connect to my SSID.  If I stop or restart, my wireless NETWORK card no longer works and we return to the toggle keyboard turning power on and off airplane mode.  Device Manager says it is working normally and the drivers are up to date.

    I read a post from microsoft that says VPN adapters could cause corruption while making the upgrade.  I'm a professional, so I got a handful of cards, but also virtual cards VMWare Workstation installed, so I tried to come back to Win 7, remove the adapters, are re-upgrade.  It does not solve the issue.  While I was back in Windows 7, everything worked most of the time, but there were some problems with the programs, etc. which would not work right.  When I upgraded to Windows 10, some of these problems persist, so I checked my backups to make sure they were up to date and did a new install of windows 10.  I am now running a new image with just firefox, associate of HP and the different drivers Intel, I tried to install, and I still can't get the card wireless to tour consistantly on / off power after a reboot.  I thought for sure the nuclear option could solve the problem now I can't even go back to Windows 7.  I did mention to try some recommended drivers Intel, I found in other posts... I also tried to uninstall the driver, and install in compatibility mode, but that has not worked, either.

    This one had me scratching my head.  I tried literally everything I can find on the internet in an attempt to solve the problem, and nothing will keep the work of consistantly wireless NETWORK card.  Any other ideas out there?

    Looking at the forums, appears not to have a lot of people in all areas of this issue with different brands of computers and network interface cards.  If anyone knows anything else to try, I would really appreciate it.

    FIXED!

    I think so.  I downloaded and installed the bios for Windows 8.  After that, I managed shutdown and booted my laptop 3 times and restarted once.  Every time you start after the installation of the firmware BIOs, the card automatically turned on and connected to my SSID NETWORK.  Since the upgrade to Windows 10 I saw not the laptop automatically start and connect the wireless NETWORK card and he did successfully 4 times now.

    The file that I downloaded from the HP Web site was update the BIOs for Windows 8 version F.2D rev A.  The file name is sp68425.  I will continue to monitor and make sure that it was indeed the fix, but all great so far.

    For people who can run on the same topic, here's a recap of what I did to solve my problem:

    Centrino 2230 installed 15.18.0.1 driver
    Update driver Bluetooth 10.0.10586.0

    Updated the BIOS to the version of Windows 8 F.2D Rev A

    If you decide to play with the BIOs firmware, just be aware that if things go well, you could cause more damage to your system.  I would only try this method if you are uncomfortable for the recovery of a faulty BIOS installation.

  • HP Simplepass will not work after reinstalling Norton 360 on windows 8

    Hello:

    I am running Windows 8 on a new computer dv6 HP Envy.  I use Norton 360 anti-virus.  Norton apparently does not work with Windows 8 correctly b/c every time I have download updates via Norton I can't run all the tests.  So I uninstall Norton 360 and reinstall, which allows then to Norton 360 works correctly.  HOWEVER, whenever I do that (which is at least once a week and is VERY VERY VERY VERY BORING!), HP Simplepass DOES NOT at all.  It says in the device, biometric devices Manager:

    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19).

    HELP HELP HELP HELP!  You pay tons of money for a new computer and it has constant problems.  Can not a fix it or give me some help to fix it?  This irritates me a LOT and will probably cause I DO NOT to BUY another product HP or Norton MORE EVER!

    Owner of unhappy HP,

    Josh

    Well, you could just not use Norton.  I confess that I'm not a fan of Norton, so the decision would be easier for me that it could be for someone else.

    There are a lot of other options out there that will work for you.

    =====================================================================================

    The Windows Defender software has been reorganized for Windows 8.  Not everyone says we should run with this one. It is worth visiting and worth implementing in your first line of defense.

    Windows Defender has the advantage that it "plays well with others", in other words, you can run this program in collaboration with the other security.

    Windows Defender will not 'take down of your computer' or make unusable just because you turn it on.

    More information about Windows Defender:

    OK, what to do?

    If you want, take a look at Avast Anti-virus.  There are paid and free versions.  The software has a good reputation and is easy to install and use.   The paid version (Avast security) has a number of features, including network monitoring, control rules and a 'sandbox' in which you can run restricted access programs (for banking, etc.).

    Other options can be found at:

    Comment:

    My personal experience with Kasperky includes some of the same adventures that I had with Norton - I have succeeded with an older version of the software, so closely bind things that I managed to block the system.  It's real easy to Bumble and more difficult to manage that I liked.  Great software - I doubt that anyone else could have hacked the system easily - I could not get anything to run, I doubt that anyone could have dug made far away in the computer either.  The smile.

    =====================================================================================

    SimplePass, in particular, has an aversion to Norton, even though I've heard of him along the Norton software.

    • You can try a few things to get SimplePass works again:

    Reset the laptop:

    Laptops - forced Reset to solve Hardware and Software questions waterproof Non-removable battery

    Laptops - use Hard Reset to solve Hardware and Software issues - removable battery

    Try reinstalling your current validity sensor driver:

    • Control Panel > display icon > device management > biometric devices > Validity Sensor >
    • Right click on the driver Validity Sensor and "Uninstall" (do not remove IT)
    • Restart / reboot the computer and log in
    • The driver will reinstall it connect you to

  • Fingerprint Software will not work after reinstalling

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the fingerprint, version 3.2.0.341 reader - 20/04/09.  When I try to register a fingerprint, I get the message "Fingerprint Registration: FPApp.exe - cannot locate component" saying "this application has failed to start because css_banner.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. »

    I have re-installed, choose the repair, but I still don't have the error.  However, I see css_banner.dll in \Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Update: I uninstalled the 3.2.0.341 version and installed the version 3.2.0.116.  I have the same problem.

    I solved the problem: I had to fix the Security Client Solution.

    I noticed that if I tried to open the Client Security Solution, I had a similar error on css_banner.dll is not present, message followed by a message CSSLauncher.exe has encountered an error and that it would be closing.  So I decided that since the css_banner.dll belongs to Client Security Solution, it was logical to try to reinstall or repair the application.  I downloaded version 8.2 of drivers and software, and it offered a choice of "repair".  After the repair, my request for fingerprint reader worked.  I've updated the fingerprint reader to the new version of the 20/04/09 3.2.0.341 and it seems to work very well.
