From: Tom on 12 Feb 2005 11:55 WIndows XP Home, Toshiba laptop After restoring the system to it's earlier time, I keep getting the following message when I try to login. "This copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft before you login. Do you want to activate?". After clicking on OK it logs off, won't log in. I dont' know what to do...
From: Tom on 12 Feb 2005 12:03 I forgot to mention, when I click on OK to activate the windows, I get the following message "Windows is already activated, click OK to exit" and when I click on OK it keeps login off instead of log in.

It may be that your activation has become "unregistered." Try this solution, posted by Carey Frisch, MS-MVP: Possible Resolution: Boot into "Safe Mode" by pressing (F8) during a reboot. Go to Start > Run and type: regsvr32 regwizc.dll , and hit enter. Then go again to Start > Run and type: regsvr32 licdll.dll , and hit enter again. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - RAH

Since this is an OEM installation, you should probably contact the laptop's manufacturer for support, or check their support web site for any tips. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace.
