- The default wallpaper in How To Permanently Activate Windows XP SP3 (Working Activator) which comes in the window XP naming Bliss, is a real photograph of a landscape which is crack situated in the Napa Valley lying outside the Napa, California, with having the download rolling green hills and a wonderful blue sky with crack stratocumulus.
I ran a repair on XP and after the repair I got a message saying that I needed to activate windows before I can log in.Choosing 'No' would send be back to the login screen and choosing 'Yes' would begin to load Windows, but only as far as showing me the desktop with no icons.
I was able to fix this problem by starting the PC in safe mode with command prompt. I then typed 'explorer' into the command prompt to load Windows. Next I clicked on 'Start' - 'Run' and in the 'Run' box I typed
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. This extended my activation to 30 days. Even though this extended my activation period, I was still unable to get the activation program to start up.
I fixed that by going into 'regedit' and searching for the 'wpaevents' folder. I then changed the permissions to include 'User' for 'Full control'. I also went to my c: drive and changed the permissions to include 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' for 'Full control'. I rebooted the machine and then was able to run Windows activation.
I got all my info from:

Windows Xp Activation Hack
6 Steps total
Step 1: Start the PC into Safe mode with command prompt
Power on the PC and press F8 right before Windows begins to load. Select 'Safe mode with command prompt'
Step 2: Run Explorer from the Command prompt to start Windows
Once the Command prompt loads, type in 'explorer' to start Windows within Safe mode.
Step 3: Run 'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk' from the 'Run' box.
Now click on 'Start' and in the 'Run' box type
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. Press Enter. This will re-set activation to 30 days
Step 4: Modify the wpaevents folder in the Registry.
Once more, click on 'Start' then go to the 'Run' box and type in 'Regedit'. Make sure that in Regedit you are highlighting 'My Computer' at the very top. Now go up to 'Edit' then 'Find' and type in 'wpaevents' then press Enter. Right click on the 'wpaevents' folder and go down to 'Permissions'. Highlight 'User' and place a check mark in the box labeled 'full control'. Click 'Apply' and exit regedit.
Step 5: Modify the C: drives permissions.
Now double click 'My Computer'. Right click the C: drive and go down to 'Properties'. Now click on the 'Security' tab and modify 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' so that they all have 'Full control'. Click 'Apply' and reboot the PC.
Step 6: Run Windows activation
Now Windows activation will run and the PC will become usable again.
This How-to is intended to assist in recovering a PC from a faulty repair install. It is not a tutorial on bypassing / extending the Windows activation grace period. I don't condone piracy, but I also don't believe in locking a user from their data with faulty control mechanisms.

Aaarrgh. I was so hopeful, because this post added the permissions steps, but when I do as described, the login after saying 'yes' to activation just shows the wallpaper forever
[Update] I left the PC on the wallpaper, no Explorer, no icons all night long and discovered the PC must've logged-off or rebooted during the night. When I logged-on this next time, the expected Windows Activation screen greeted me and I was able to successfully activate!

I used this method, and still get the wallpaper screen forever. I am working to recover an old computer which has had it's ethernet controller fail, as well as the internal wi-fi. I have attached a USB wi-fi adapter, and run the installation software in safemode. When I reboot, I still get the 'This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?' Right back to the wallpaper.
This is the result of a Windows Repair, XP Home Edition SP3 Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111
I have verified with Microsoft that the software is a legal copy, but they want $180 to talk me through validation.
Thanks for any further suggestions

Thanks, needed this today. It was getting critical. A new install would have taken days because of the support from a 3rd party vendor.
