I got the same problem with SP3 too, that's why I moved back to SP2.

Re-install does not work. I work at an IT company where we install computers and repair computers daily, Re-install, removing wpa.DBL and wpa.BAK, changing RegDone value to 1 and Activation Required to zero in regedit in safe mode, all these do not work.
If anyone has another idea, please post it :) If I find the solution I will come back at it :)

Just had this problem (activation on endless loop) and here's the
solution:
1) Kill the Activate Windows program (C:\WINDOWS\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe) 2) open regedit 3) go to "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE\CKPT" and right click and choose permissions and give both your login and SYSTEM "Full control" 4) relaunch the Activate Windows program: Start / Run / c:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a 5) It will run normally |

ok, so i have read this and i know its old but it deserves an answer that works
first you need to start the pc in safe-mode click start then run then type regedit and click run in hkey local user software microsoft windowsnt current version wpa events then modify the oobe-timer value now go wild change the digits and characters to whatever you want exit regedit afterwards then reboot now you will get the activate now but this time you will get the option to call customer services to activate or retry with the same product key i changed my key to a different one then activated lol didnt want to end up in the loop again :) |

I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of days and nights, reading every link via Google search, to the point that the bags under my eyes have bags!!!
The good part - Installed SP3. Problem solved.
The bad part - I had to be at work by 9am and I'm going to be 3 hours late for work because I over slept and I'm posting messages instead of taking a shower and getting dressed!!!

I'm using XP Pro, sp2, had just reactivated windows and got
[Windows Product Activation] This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log in. Do you want to activate Windows now? [Yes] [No] I say yes, and it says: [Activate Windows] Windows Product Activation Windows is already activated. [OK] I click OK and it takes me back to the Welcome (log on) screen. The only way "for me "to bypass the loop is to boot up in "Safe Mode" None of the solutions worked for me I had to load sp3 in safe mode and all is well. Thanks for the hours of solutions, but in the end it was a shot in the dark that no one posted anywhere (included multiple other sites) so I thought I would give what worked for me. |
