[br]Firstly I wanna say I am not I pirate I bought Windows XP 32-bit home edition for my computer a while back but misplaced the product key.
[br]About a month ago I reinstalled windows XP on my comptuter. I have the disk, but misplaced the damn product key.t.t Therefore I found one over the internet. Yesterday the 30-day activation **** ran out of time and once I logged into windows it had to activate it or I couldnt log in
. I found how to get on the internet through their stupid activation by phone ****, and also how to briefly get the start menu and everything to show up.
[br]So after some searching on the internet I found this guide on how to "Deactivate Windows XP Activation" Here are the steps I followed and did exactly what it said.
[br]***************************************************************************
■ Click "Run" on your start menu Type "regedit" and press enter.
■ Registry Editor opens up, and you are presented with a long list of keys on the left.■
■3. Browse through the list to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi ndows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents.
■4. Find on the right side: you should see a strings value named
OOBETimer (The activation stuff)
■5. Change it to: FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD
Note:
If you change it, WindowsXp will change it back within a few seconds.
■6. Right-click: WPAEvents and choose "Permissions..."
(A small window opens up with a list of user names)
■7. Click SYSTEM and in the list below ("Permissions for SYSTEM")
■8. Check each & every box under "Deny"
[br]Note:
[br]- Problem most of all are probably having is when you get to the "Permissions" section, so let's expand on this tricky area.
[br]- Under "Permissions..." for WPAEvents, Go into the Advanced settings.
[br]- UNCHECK "Inhereit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.
Include these with entries explicitly defined here"
[br] - When prompted what course of action to take from here, click "COPY"
[br]from there, Highlight the SYSTEM line, and click edit.
[br]- Deny all options, apply, and run a free copy of windows.
[br]*************************************************************************
[br]Now when I load of Windows after the loading screen
[br]it everything just becomes black. No login screen, no nothing
[br]Ok here's what I need to know
[br]How can I fix this problem?
[br]Is it gonna be possible to fix because I need to read some ISO images and stuff I disabled my DVD-ROM drive about a few days ago so I dont think I can even boot up a new installtion via The XP Disk?
[br]How can I re-enable that drive
