説明 | So, seems it's been 30 days since I last tried a different network card in dad's computer I inherited and rely on every day. I decided not to use the card but it told me the hardware had changed and I needed to re-validate Windows. This is a fully legal copy of XP. I have the key but would have no idea where dad's disc is. What you see in the pic is what i've gotten every time i've tried to validate. And nothing happens. Additionally, when i've tried validation/activation/whatever via a browser, it never works - no matter what browser I use. I can be more specific if someone has questions.I have spent the last month using a great deal of te little free time I have researching this issue and, in the last few days, decided I'd let it fail and see what happens - maybe it would offer a different method. Unfortunately, the method for validating didn't change, i'm just locked out. I have tried shutting down the ZoneAlarm firewall and anything else I could think of, all with the same results. Based on what i'm looking at and the stuff that happens when I tried using a browser, it seems to refuse to connect to something it needs to. And, come to find out, Windows can't be validated in safe mode. And now I've run out of experimentation time.I don't care if I have to disable stuff and run "illegally" or if it can be fixed. I just need this computer to work.Anyone know what to do?below is the link to my homepage where there are a variety of ways to contact me if you don't have a flickr account. with no working computer, your best bet is my cell or email, twitter, or facebook, all of which also go to my cell.christophercornelius.com |
