Activation message error

[nibraz]

Hi,

Today I on my pc and when it comes to the welcome screen it says ''windows must activate within 7 days'' so I clicked activate then it says windows is already activated, and I can use my pc again. Whenever I restart or start my pc the activation message pops front of the welcome screen :? Any idea how to fix this?

How can microsoft help, if I cant activate it? The thing is its already activated.

it sounds like you've used activation crack to bypass the activation

do you own a legitimate copy of windows?

[nibraz]

Yes, they gave me a windows cd when buying my computer.

if the cd came with the pc, you have an OEM version of windows.

try this

it will most likely resolve your problem

the link will let you change the product key. put your product key that came with the cd.

by following the procedure listed there, you will reset whatever interferes with the activation

although it says it's for volume licensed version, it should work for you.

I have already had ths error. Another member too. If I remember there isn't solution. Is it after a repair windows operation ? Changing hardware ?

[nibraz]

Yes I tried like fixing windows then after a reboot this happend I really dont wont to format cuz all my important softwares etc are there.

Check what's running at startup. Probably the WPA reminder key was left there accidentally and not deleted as it should have been after a successful activation.
