Q: Have already activated Windows XP but continue to get message I only have 4 days to activate This thread is locked from future replies. Does'nt exist so I cannot continue with the fix.

Windows Product Activation is not needed in. Media and is the number of days left. Over the past week or so I keep getting an xp activation window appearing at start up. It`s telling me I have 4 days to activate it. I click 'yes' and then. 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. 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 fixed that by going into 'regedit' and searching for the 'wpaevents' folder. I then changed the permissions to include 'User' for 'Full control'. I also went to my c: drive and changed the permissions to include 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' for 'Full control'.
