Select 'Yes, let's activate Windows over the Internet now'. Read the privacy statement and decide if you want to. How to Activate Windows XP. In order to get the most out of Windows XP, you'll need to activate it using your Windows XP product key. If you have an internet connection or dial-up modem, you can get activated with just a few clicks.

I ran a repair on XP and after the repair I got a message saying that I needed to activate windows before I can log in.Choosing 'No' would send be back to the login screen and choosing 'Yes' would begin to load Windows, but only as far as showing me the desktop with no icons.

That is, while you can open a file located on the Mac's partition, you can't edit and save a file located on Mac's partition.This also means that you can copy files from Mac partition to Windows but can't copy or move a file to Mac partition while using Windows operating system. This is because Apple has included read-only HFS+ driver with Boot Camp and it lets you only copy and open files saved on Mac's HFS+ partition.Whenever you attempt to copy a file to Mac's partition, you see Destination Folder Access Denied dialog box with 'You need permission to perform this action' message. Even though this certainly provides a better security for Mac OS X, you can't write to Mac's partition without adding HFS+ write support to Windows. Paragon hfs for windows 10.

I was able to fix this problem by starting the PC in safe mode with command prompt. I then typed 'explorer' into the command prompt to load Windows. Next I clicked on 'Start' - 'Run' and in the 'Run' box I typed
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. This extended my activation to 30 days. Even though this extended my activation period, I was still unable to get the activation program to start up.

I also went to my c: drive and changed the permissions to include 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' for 'Full control'. I rebooted the machine and then was able to run Windows activation.

  Aaarrgh. I was so hopeful, because this post added the permissions steps, but when I do as described, the login after saying 'yes' to activation just shows the wallpaper forever

  [Update] I left the PC on the wallpaper, no Explorer, no icons all night long and discovered the PC must've logged-off or rebooted during the night. When I logged-on this next time, the expected Windows Activation screen greeted me and I was able to successfully activate!

  I used this method, and still get the wallpaper screen forever. I am working to recover an old computer which has had it's ethernet controller fail, as well as the internal wi-fi. I have attached a USB wi-fi adapter, and run the installation software in safemode. When I reboot, I still get the 'This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?' Right back to the wallpaper.

  This is the result of a Windows Repair, XP Home Edition SP3 Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111

  I have verified with Microsoft that the software is a legal copy, but they want $180 to talk me through validation.

  Thanks for any further suggestions

  Thanks, needed this today. It was getting critical. A new install would have taken days because of the support from a 3rd party vendor.
