  1. Start the computer.
  2. After the computer runs the Power On Self Test (POST), press F8 repeatedly to open the Windows Advanced Options menu.
  3. On the Windows Advanced Options menu, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press ENTER.
  4. Use the arrow keys to select the Windows operating system that you want to start, and then press ENTER.
  5. When the computer is running in safe mode, log on by using an account that has administrator rights and permissions. Then, click Yes in the message that states that Windows is running in safe mode.
Step 2: Start Registry Editor loadTOCNode(3, 'resolution'); Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. Step 3: Remove the RESETS registry subkey loadTOCNode(3, 'resolution');
  1. In Registry Editor, expand My Computer, and then expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  2. Expand SOFTWARE, and then expand Microsoft.
  3. Expand Windows NT, and then expand CurrentVersion.
  4. Expand Winlogon, and then expand Notify.
  5. Under Notify, right-click RESETS, and then click Delete.
  6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the RESETS subkey.

    Note Do not exit Registry Editor. You must use Registry Editor in "Step 4: Modify the registry to deactivate Windows."

  4. Under CurrentVersion, click WPAEvents.
  5. In the right pane (topic area) of Registry Editor, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.
  6. Click to put the pointer in the Value data box. Then, modify any character that appears in the Value data box.
  7. Click OK.

    Note This step deactivates Windows.
  8. Exit Registry Editor.
Step 5: Rename the corrupted Windows activation file loadTOCNode(3, 'resolution');
  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: ren %windir%\system32\WPA.dbl wpa.oldThis command renames the WPA.dbl file to WPA.old.

Step 7: Replace the corrupted Windows activation file loadTOCNode(3, 'resolution');
  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: expand drive :\i386\wpa.db_ %windir%\system32\wpa.dbl In this command, replace drive with the letter of the drive that contains the Windows CD.

    For example, if the Windows CD is located in drive D, the command appears as follows: expand d:\i386\wpa.db_ %windir%\system32\wpa.dblThis command extracts a copy of the Wpa.dbl file from the Windows CD. Then, it puts this file in the System32 folder of the Windows installation.
  3. Examine the output that appears at the command prompt. If the command runs successfully, information that resembles the following appears: Microsoft (R) File Expansion Utility Version 5.1.2600.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1990-1999. All rights reserved. Expanding d:\i386\wpa.db_ to c:\windows\system32\wpa.dbl. d:\i386\wpa.db_: 2222 bytes expanded to 2126 bytes, -5% increase.

    Note If you use a different search tool such as Windows Desktop Search, use this tool to search for each of these individual files.
  4. In the results pane of the Search Results dialog box, right-click each file, and then click Delete.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the file.
  6. When you have finished removing these files, exit the Search Results dialog box.
  7. Restart the computer and let Windows restart in normal mode.
Step 9: Reactivate Windows loadTOCNode(3, 'resolution');
  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Activate Windows.
