Guest Zokutai Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Hello. I just reinstalled my windows xp professional x64 edition and I have some quite annoying problems. First one is the Activation. Each time I log on I get the message saying "xx days left... Activate now..." So I try to click that message.. and nothing happens.. I've also tried installing Internet explorer, but it wont get installed.. I just get the error message saying "restart PC now" .. Nothing seems to work.. I am totally helpless. Please help :S Thanks in advance.
Guest Bobby Johnson Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Re: Problems with activation. Cant get IE to work. I would guess that your installation didn't install properly. Internet Explorer is part of the system, so you should not have to 'install' it. Probably the best approach is to start over and do a 'full format' to ensure any residual information is cleaned up. A 'quick' format does not clean the information from the hard drive. All it does is delete the file and directory information and leaves any actually information on the hard drive. If you were having problems before, then a 'quick' format leaves that 'problem' on your hard drive. Zokutai wrote: > Hello.

Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Re: Problems with activation. Cant get IE to work. You say you just re-installed. How, exactly, did you do that? And why? It sounds like it didn't successfully complete, and I'm concerned that something else is going on here. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Zokutai" <Zokutai@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:AA95D3DD-183E-41BB-AA2C-F42081D1F64D@microsoft.com... > Hello.
