Guest FMC Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 Reinstalled XP Personal last month. Since day one I have received the message upon logging in that I need to validate. Counting down from 30 days. I clicked validate and then the Validation page would give me the message that Windows was already validated click OK and exit. This was fine until now the 30th day. Now I get the message. click validate, get the message that Windows is already validated and then get logged off and loops right back to windows needs validated. Help!

Guest FMC Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 RE: 30 days to validate Andrew, Thank you, but as I said before the validation just logs me off even in safe mode. Therefore I have not been able to get in even in safe mode. Still asking me to validate and then shows the windows is validated and then logs me back off and then tells me to activate again. Any other ideas? Still Need Help.

Perhaps it is in the circles you frequent, but I can tell you that I have *never* heard that terminology or seen it in writing anywhere. If I were responding to a message in which you used that term, I would *guess* that XP Home was what you meant, but I would certainly question it to make sure that my guess was correct. > "NoConsequence" wrote: > > > On Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:02:00 -0700, FMC > > <FMC@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > > > >Reinstalled XP Personal last month. > > > > No you didn't, given that there is NO XP PERSONAL. > > > > -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
Guest FMC Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: 30 days to validate Thank you for your response. Perhaps you are correct, with my tech support friends we have often used the term Personal for Home. And yes if you didn't know the term you normally would suspect that i meant Home.

Guest Bob I Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: 30 days to validate Humm, XP Home has been on the market almost 6 years and this is the first time I've heard it referred to as "personal". I'd say "often" is a bit of a stretch. Especially since it is almost always set to auto-login, so whomever presses the power button can use it, makes it more "public" than "personal"!

Guest FMC Posted September 19, 2007 Posted September 19, 2007 Re: 30 days to validate So, I guess we have all the time in the world to just Banter this back and forth. Personal as in Home use versus XP Pro as in "Professional". frank I do not need anymore responses to this, if the responding parties don't want to try and help, why respond at all. thank you to all who did attempt to help me.

When asking a question in a technical group it's important that you use the group's terminology, not you and your "friends" colloquail terminology.
