Fix Windows XP and 2003 Require Activation on Every Boot Even After Activated Error
In Windows XP Home Edition, Professional Edition and Windows Server 2003, all Standard, Enterprise, Web Edition, users may encounter a strange error where Windows system will prompt users to activate Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 every time users start the computer, even though the system has been successfully activated previously. Worse still, if users answer Yes in order to activate Windows again, system will display message saying that Windows or Server is already activated and then logout users.
This problem occurs because a script or its associated files such as reset5.exe, reset5.dll, reset5.dat, reset5.dt*, reset5.bat, resetserver, resetpath, srvany.exe and etc that interferes with Windows activation is running on the computer. (Note: Reset5 is Terminal Services Reset Utility).
For resolution to fix the non-stop activation loop problem, Microsoft has prepared a Guided Help to remove the script that interferes with Windows activation, and also detailed a step-by-step guide to manually remove the script that interferes with Windows activation from registry and local hard disk drive. To download the Guided Help or view the instructions, visit KB312295.

At least I can help you get to your files. hold down the Windows Key on your keyboard while you also press the "U" key. This will open up the Narrator program to help assist those with poor vision. It is this program that will help us login to our Windows. Click the little computer icon in the top left hand side of the Narrator window. A drop down menu should appear. The last option in this menu is named "About Narrator…". Click it. This should open up another window called "About Narrator". In this window, there should be the text "Microsoft Web site". Click it, as it is a link and will open up your Internet Explorer, taking you to the Microsoft Accessibility website. Howrah! Internet access!
As if Internet was not enough, in the address bar of Internet Explorer, type "c:". This should display all your hard drive contents on drive "C". From there you can load navigate your way around your computer, loading specific programs, and most whatever else.
you can open a command prompt by opening a word doc and in (alt f11) VB type the following
Sub doswin() (C is system drive
Abc = Shell (“C:Windowssystem32command.com”, vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
Then run that subroutine and viola a dos command window now you can run WPA kill or whatever
Use browser file menu to navigate hard drive and copy paste rename folders etc.
No you cannot start in safe mode. WTF?! Why would you even tell anyone that nonsense asshole. lol, I just noticed your name was jim, figures.
yes you can start in safemode.. you cant choose networking .. but regular safe mode you can .. maybe you need a flashlight wondering in darkness to much. Eclipse
Start in safe mode. Should work fine.
Hi!
I am trying to restore a previous Win XP Drive Image on my drive with Acronis . The recovery process goes fine except that after booting I am prompted to activate my XP before I can even log in. Usually Windows prompts for activation AFTER fully logging in. Is there a way I can do this in DOS?
It was an oldish XP Home ed. and I don't have the product key any more.How can I bypass this dead-end?
Thank you
Franco
