Re: Activation of Windows XP after major Crash

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



At long last I managed to speak to a human being. In going through the
discussion, I was able to resolve the issue and the XP Home edition is now
validated.

I was appalled by Microsoft's automated service. No options were given at
all to speak to a person. Just the comment go and buy a legitimate version.

No replies from the posting of the diagnostic log other than speak on the
telephone.

Glad its all over and thanks for suggestions.

I have undertaken the diagnostic check - following a clean installation as I
was locked out. MS still will not allow activation through the internet &
automated telephone.

The results of the diagnostics have been posted and I am awaiting a reply.
Not certain how long this takes.

For info the log is:
