  • Heydar921,

    Please follow these steps for assistance:

    Step 1 is to run the utility at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, then click the Windows tab, click the "Copy" button, then paste the report into a response in this thread.

    Step 2 is to look on the computer or with the materials you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).  If you have one, tell us about the COA.  Tell us:

    1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

    2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

    3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

    4.  DO NOT post the Product Key.

    Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

  • Gunnar,

     

    Occasionally, the shortcut for the Activation Wizard is missing from the menu system.  Try this:

     

    Start>Run, type oobe/msoobe /a, click OK.

     

    Let us know if it works for you!

  • I typed that in and it pulled up the Windows Activation Screen. It said that windows was already activated, but when I try to validate to download an update on MS.com, I get an error message. I try again and it still doesn't work. I have no clue how my computer thinks I am activated but MS.com doesn't. Again Please help. Thanks!
