Windows XP - license problem error!

[Selina]

I hope someone can help a relatively new newbie... My
friend's XP got the MSBlaster. I patched it up but said
the final thing she needed to do was update her Windows.
As she has a slow dial up connection, I got advice on opne
of these Microsoft newsgroups about how I could save the
Windows Updates she needed onto a CD and then off I went
earlier to install them for her. In the middle of one
installation the system crashed so I rebooted the PC and
it went to a new screen that says "Click on user" - the
only user there is called "Owner" but when I click on it
this error message pops up: "A problem is preventing
Windows from accurately checking the license for this
computer. Error code 0x800040005." She got her PC brand
new from a shop with Windows installed already so it is
hers!!! I cannot get past this screen at all. Please
help! :)

H Selina,

Are you able to get to Safe mode? Hit F8 at startup to try. If you are try
running this:

Start/run regsvr32 regwizc.dll
Then start/run regsvr32 licdll.dll

Then restart the system normally.
