Fix Windows XP Activation Infinite Loop by Britec
This copy of Windows must be activated before you can log on
Every time you try to logon you get the following error message.
This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?
How to Resolve
Boot into "Safe Mode". To do this, turn the computer or laptop on and press F8 repeatedly as it is booting up. Go into "Safe Mode" by choosing the "Safe Mode" option.
Once you are at the desktop in "Safe Mode", Click "Start" then click "Run".
At the run command prompt type the following EXACTLY
rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk
*NOTE: The "Oo"'s in Oobe are "oh's" - not "zero's" There is one space after rundll32.exe. It is case sensitive as far as I know.
Click OK
Wait a few seconds - the screen may blip a few times or so.
This just reset Windows Activation for 30 days.
Reboot the PC into normal mode - log in - re-activate Windows
After that, one may use an Antiwpa program to clear the future "bug".
The 30-day removal command works the first time, but the system then gave a serious error message after a reboot: "a problem has prevented windows from accurately checking the status..."
The line doesn't work anymore. But good thing I can boot in safe mode, and use all the activators I got for Windows XP. Problem solved.
Ive tired doing these steps but it doesnt work like before and i only used the steps twice and it worked before but now it doesnt. And i have no idea what to do anymore please help me?
I don't use XP anymore. I suggest you do the same.
I do not care what you do ! I do not follow your suggestion !
It's outdated anyway. As mentioned above.
