Software / Win XP Activation crack
« on: December 23, 2005, 08:26:53 AM »
My XP SP2 said I had to re-activate after changing the filesystem of one of my drives form FAT32 to NTFS. Nice feature. I have an original XP licence. My key would not re-activate, so I tried a crack to keep working. After 3 days I got the endless loop: Log in, Say I have to reactivate, get the screen with only the OK-button and the message ít's already activated, click OK and log out...

Even safe mode didn't work.  http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />
 FOUND THE SOLUTION!

Press F8 while starting, but choose save mode with command prompt. It will let you in. Start up regedit and change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/Currentversion/WPAEvents key.

Reboot and the normal reactivation screen will appear.

Then I dialed the Micro[censored] number and I had to enter the 8x6 code by phone. It couldn't be verified and I was immediately connected to a helpdesk officer who gave me an activationid within two minutes...

I wanted to avoid to call Micro[censored], but it dit cost me a lot of frustration, time and trouble. The call took only 5 minutes totally on a toll-free number.

Good luck.
