I reinstalled XP home on my laptop but can't activate it because it has been
reinstalled too many times. Where can I get a crack that will activate it? TIA Nascar24Rulz |

Follow this Xp sp2 will not work with a crack. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrent Version\WPAEvents In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify. Change at least one digit of first line value to deactivate Windows. If doing this from safe mode reboot normally here. Run %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a Preinstalled xp system use the key on the back of the machine. All others use the same key, that you used to install windows xp Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows, and then click Next. Click Change Product key. Type the product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update. If another Screen pops up-Click Remind me latter. Reboot. Then activate. Reboot. According to Microsoft you can activate a computer as many times as you want unless you change major hardware within 120 days of activation. Then you can make a phone call and tell them you had to reinstall windows do to a virus or something else. Then they will give you a new product key. Greg R Greg R |
