On restart, no activate key-icon will appear in system-tray, your registry may/will have entries belonging to software not installed.įor a detailed clean-install, restore (files ?) an activated registry and valid activated copy of "wpa.dbl" see below. Quickest/simplest way to get an "activated" installation (without calling Microsoft), do a clean-install, start your backup program, do a "Registry-System-state" only restore, before you restart computer, you must, rename existing "wpa.dbl" and retrieve "wpa.dbl" from backup. Please note: This "quick activate installation" I have had success with. The instant that Windows is booted, Windows-System is in total control, and opened (locked, cannot write to an open key) "HKLM\SYSTEM\WPA", where the activated-state data is located. M$ Windows may be running, but is not in control. September 11th, 2008 Activating Windows by any means, other than from Backup or through Microsoft, is just not possible.īackup programs such as EMC® Retrospect® for Windows stay in total control, providing all/any resources, dialogs etc to complete restore. (Also, as I have reduced to minimum hardware for installing-windows, less risk the better see Error occurs during the installation of Windows XP, scroll down, 'tis 3rd last item). (Restoring " wpa.bak" averts System from a moment of (noticeable) hesitation while it checks data, and creates a new backup). This allows me less to backup, I know I have an uncluttered error-free, and less error-prone OS.įurther, I can refresh the installation at any time, and later restore my other 'stuff'. Though I have software in/on my xp-setup, instead of installing at first login, I manually activate RunOnceEx, after I perform a backup. Restore registry-system-state and reboot, job's done. Rename " wpa.dbl" retrieve/restore from backup " wpa.dbl" " wpa.bak". Perform a clean (formatted hard-drive) install.

It does not matter if you have only SP2 backups and do a (clean) SP3 install (files change, not system-state), not that I can notice. Oh what was I thinking!, restoring SP2 files to a clean up-to-date SP3 installation, then doing an in-place "upgrade".
