"Activate XP"??? Why??
Hi
I've had XP for 5 weeks and it has run without problems until recently. The boot-up sequence now stops at a new window which says that XP has to be activated. Then when I say OK, it says it's already activated and loads the log-on screen. If I click my logo to log on, the machine logs off and closes down. What should I do? Is there a "Safe Mode" in XP to let me try correct things. Thanks AT |

"Activate XP"??? Why??
Hi,
Yes, there is a Safe mode. You can access it by hitting F8 at the point where the initial power-on ends and Windows begins to load. This will get you the boot menu where you can select it. Once in, try this: Start/run regsvr32 regwizc.dll Then start/run regsvr32 licdll.dll If this doesn't help try these steps: Start/run regedit. Expand to and delete the following keys: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Cryptograph y\Providers HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers Exit the registry editor, restart normally. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "RustyT" wrote in message ...
