Keep your Windows Activation

by Marsha on October 26, 2008

Windows product activation

Since Windows XP, Windows must be activated so that it can work properly. If it’s not activated, Windows can only be used for 30 days. After that, the OS will be locked and can only be used once it is activated.

Other software vendors also began to apply the same method. Just take a look at Symantec or Adobe. Before you can use their software, they required activation first first. The activation options usually given via internet or phone.

Activation can a solution to prevent or reduce the amount of piracy of software products. However, this activation thing could be problems for the owner of the licensed software. Why?.., if the computer owner doesn’t have an internet connection, he’ll have to do the activation via phone. Imagine, if he got a problem on his computer and have to reinstall the system.

We got simple solution for this issue,Before you do re-install Windows, follow the this step;.

Run Windows Explorer.
Create a new folder. For example, a folder called “backup” located in drive D.
Go to the folder C:-Windows-system32-. If you install Windows on another drive, you can adjust the folder with the drive that you use.
On the right side of a window, there will appear information stating that the files in the are hidden. Click [Show the contents of this folder] to display the contents of the system32 folder.
After the system32 folder opened, look for a file named wpa.dbl.
copy the Wpa.dbl to the folder that you have previously made (D-backup).

You can now re-install your Windows. After Windows is installed pitch, carry on the work with these steps.

Restart the computer and press the [F8] on the keyboard before logging into the Windows operating system.
Select [Safe Mode].
run Windows Explorer once more.
Go to the folder D: backup, place the backup files stored wpa.dbl. Copy the file back to the folder C:-Windows-system32-.
When you paste the file wpa.dbl, information will appear that the file has been available in the system32 folder. Just Click [Yes].
The final step, restart Windows. Windows will ask for activation no more.

Note:

Make sure the hardware that you use is not changed before and after you re-install Windows. If you add or reduce computer hardware, this trick won’t work.

windows xp auto logon

Every time you turn on the Windows XP, first, you are always face the logon screen. then you usually enter the username and password to get into Windows XP. What if you don’t want to be bothered with this logon process, right?
