In my case, I did a repair install so the key has aksed to me, so it's the good key (key of the sticker) so I can activate by phone, but windows always says Already activated. Now, it's okay because, I have re-formatted the system, but I think Microsoft has already seen that problem. So I wait Trigga ..

I had already this problem two times, and I have reformatted systems, I havn't found any solution, repair windows doesn't work, tweaking OOBE regkey doesn't work. Calling Microsoft and explain your problem is good idea, please inform us if there is solution. Goodbye

WOW ! you're blind man ;-) ! Many topics about that !!! Click on Search button. Goodbye.

You don't have any domain ? you're in workgroup ?

@TheFlash428: This tool is made by Symantec, it's called SymNRT. you can download here, and it expires about 1 ou 2 months I think, so you must redownload sometimes (or change date ...) ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_...sgen/SymNRT.exe

expand -r thefile.af_ you don't need to recompress after, just delete the compressed file, and keep the svcpack.inf non-compressed. For information, to recompress makecab yourfile.ext

If you're a "gamer", you know last titles require latest dx9c. Now Microsoft publish updates to dx9c, so you need these updates if you play, if you don't install these updates, the setup of the game will do, and if you game is already installed and no latest dx9c updates, you have an error about dll missing.

Edit code to your objectif, and paste to new .reg file Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\OpenTheNameOfYourProgram] @="ImDisplayedInTheMenuSoRenameMe" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\OpenTheNameOfYourProgram\command] @="\"C:\\PathOfYourProgram\\...\\YourProgram.exe\" \"%1\""

You can use RegMon from great www.sysinternal.com Goodbye. Background image regkey Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "Wallpaper"="C:\\....\\Wallpaper1.bmp"

You can look here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=23719 But they allow to bypass certain limitations, or it allow more custom shell ... no files allow better stability or performance ...

Your problem is Windows Installer is corrupt, so you can't install any .msi setup (sometimes .msi is embedded in setup.exe same as bf2) Try these command in a cmd prompt start /w "" %SystemRoot%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister start /w "" %SystemRoot%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and reboot and retest. If always doesn't work, the easy way is to reinstall windows xp in "repair mode" (first screen in textmode choose, install , and in second choose repair, just system file will be replaced, all your data and profile are kept). Goodbye.

I think you can install same version of windows xp with other language with your license key, but be sure that license is used at the same time on one computer.

Download the zipped takeown & xacls These are command line to re-set ntfs rights on folder. - Takeown allow to set owner of the folder is you, so you can change permission after. - Xcacls (same as cacls.exe but has advanced features) allow to specify rights. Make a .cmd file with this content, place .exe in same folder of the batch. Edit the "pathfolder" value too if mine is wrong (C:\Doc&Settings) set pathfolder=%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings takeown /A /R /D O /F %pathfolder% xcacls %pathfolder% /G SYSTEM:F "Tout le Monde":F /T /C /Y Goodbye. NTFS.zip

I suppose you have HD audio sound card, you will need update for windows to update/support HD audio, but I'm not certain, search on forum with this file, you find the solution ... Goodbye.

You must re-set NTFS permissions of the folders. What version of windows have you got ? what language ?

I use a sort of that idea a "user menu" of Total Commander, I have embedded all utils into the menu to launch easily, I will test your prog. Good job. @wolf74481: IMHO, Software hangout is for discussion of programs, opinions and position ... Goodbye.

Posted same post two times, warned modo to read your post. No screenshots, no error message, no description in your topic title. How can we help you ?! We aren't magician here.

You mean display correct "specials" characters in .cmd/.bat ? If yes, you can use alternative to notepad ... Notepad2 : Select your text and use Conversion ANSI -> OEM PSPad : Format -> OEM I have these problemes with french language with accentuated characters.

You can fix this "bug" of windows with that regkey REGEDIT4 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mpg\shellex\PropertyHandler] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.mpeg\shellex\PropertyHandler]

Try to make your floppy with latest drivers from 6.70 package if you use native sata or the latest drivers for the thirdparty sata chipset.

Nothing is done behind the recovery console ! You can execute chkdsk to repair filesystem. you can configure services and you can manage files too. edit: okay I've re-read your post, for the 'repair' install, windows overwrite all system file by the original of the disc (so you must re-update windows after). All main registry is restored, if it's a customizable regkey, it doesn't touch the key. The security template is re-executed too. But I can't offer to you the full operation because Microsoft doesn't offer the information.

no answers mean it's impossible, no more. And why disable that ?

It doesn't work since SP1 ! You must pickup oembios files from your actual system (preactivated by toshiba) and replace in your unattented disc. You must pickup the generic key from your actual system too. This key will only works with your computer and bypass activation because it's checked with hardware.

yes it's just the extension. You can keep .bat to keep compatibility with old-windows (9x) .cmd work only on NT 5.x systems (xp/2000)
