The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP Activation Problem. Can not activate Windows XP Sp3 after repair

Asked by Informer9 in Windows XP Operating System, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Tags: XP, Activation, Problem, Can not, activate, Windows, Sp3, after, repair, offline, activation

Hello

I had to to do install REPAIR on my Legal OEM windows xp home sp3 Laptop.

Everything went fine and system boots up fine to the welcome screen only.

Then I see my 2 User accounts and when I try to LOG IN I get the message telling me to activate before it logs me IN.

That is fine with me. Its a legal copy of windows with no hardware change so I click YES.

That is THE END. I could watch my desktop for hours but activation wizzard doesnt pop up.

I have tried all the keyboard combinations with no luck. System is not frozen and I can move the mouse.

I have beed allowed to the safe mode once. That worked fine but you are not allowed to activate in a safe mode.

I have restarted many times and it still doesnt work. Something blocks the activation window fro popping up.

I have all the tools and skills to do offline edit of the registry, offline file copying or swapping.

Reinstalling is not an option, I need to start it up!!

1. Can I activate offline somehow?
2. Can I swap some files or registry entries to start up windows ??
3. Can I extend the activatiuon time to at least one day somehow?
4. Is there a hack or crack to activate my windows for 1 start in normal mode so I could be able to reactivate again once logged in and running.

Best

Michael
