I have a genuine XP Pro system and it is definately activated. But when I
go to MS auto updates it tells me my system is not activated.
Any ideas please.
Thanks
 
Hi Ray,

Click start/run, type these in one at time and click ok:

regsvr32 regwizc.dll
regsvr32 licdll.dll

Hi,

I've had this computer for a couple of years. My "ex" got it from his job
who was selling their old computers so it came with Win XP Pro already
installed. I have an authentic cd with the halogram and product ID on it but
of course nothing else. My computer was always working fine, until I got a
nasty virus about a month ago. I lost everything. This virus had got up into
my registry, files, the whole kit & kaboodle, so I had to wipe everything out
and start new. The only other thing new on my computer is that I had just
bought a new cd/dvd drive, but I messed with just about everything trying to
get that virus off the computer because it even disabled my ability to access
the internet.

Since I reinstalled the OS (WinXP), I've got this popup key that says to
activate it. I've activated my new (straight out the package) Office 2k3 with
no problem, but the OS will not take. I have installed and reinstalled it but
no go.

Any thoughts? I called MS and the "robot" on the phone just says, "Sorry,
you are short.", and hangs up on me. I think I have extenuating circumstances
because the software is good but it doesn't know my computer anymore.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help offered in advance!
 
When sending in the phone activation it should forward you to a Microsoft
customer representative. Explain the situation from them and you should get
an activation code :)
