I have a Windows XP PC with MS Office XP. "This file contains macros with an expired or revoked signature.Running under High Security Level, these macros
will be disabled." whenever I opened MS Word and Outlook. We have not run any Windows updates or downloaded or installed anything. Basically nothing changed.
For the past 2 months my computer has been restarting itself while I am using it. It does this most frequently while i am playing a game or copying a CD. When it restarts, it dusplays a message saying "Windows has recovered from a serious error". So i send an error report and Micrsoft says they are unable to help me with it. The Error signature is:
I have decided to go with Windows Live Mail, so do not need Outlook Express any more. Question: Can Outlook Express be uninstalled or do I just leave it where it is in All Programs. I know it is interrogated software with Windows XPSP2, so I guess I just leave it be. I had a glitch in the signature area of Outlook Express and when I installed Windows Live Mail, the glitch came over with the importing of everything from Outlook Express....darn it. To describe the glitch.....when I go to attach a signature saved in Windows Live Mail a message appears on the desktop saying WLM has to close as there is a problem with the software. The main reason I decided to install Windows Live Mail was to rid myself of this particular glitch in Outlook Express, but unfortunately the glitch was imported along with all the messages, folders, signatures and options chosen from Outlook Express.
i'm using sp2 and activation has expired...so now everytime i boot the pc i can't login to win unless i activate it .i even can't access it in safe mode.....the problem is the product key i have i already in use and saved in their database
windows password was going to expire in 14 days. I tried making a diffrent user account and even tried to figure out on my own how to get into the administrator account.
I kept getting an "expired credntials" message" Since then it has not come on but I was wondering why it did come on in the first place,I was loggeg on as two users at the same time for some reason.
activate and there is a button that says Resolve Now. Press the button and you end up back at the login. I can boot into safe mode and get the same message. desktop in safe mode. I've tried using the install disk and repair Windows to no avail. I've also tried rolling back.
I reloaded Windows XP Pro I was asked to activate, which I didn't do at that time. I lost my Internet connection and sound at the same time. I did a phone activation and I thought it went thru. I had a message to activate. I did the phone activation and was told DO NO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A VALID PRODUCT
I'm getting events in the security log, similar to the following, about 1-20 times a day. I looked this up and it says that it is a "Kerberos ticket expired."
"Page has Expired" so I hit "Refresh" DING , then hit Retry and it reloads the page. This is a relatively new issue and have not installed any software recently.
hHave everything backed up and now the bandits at dell want over $200 to "guide" me thru the process of the uninstall. The problem occurred while under warranty, but now it's expired. Any help for a neophyte is appreciated. Running XP Media centre edition and have disks. Also, have error message on task bar that master drive failed and have to rebuild the volume.
The install went fine, until I was prompted to activate. The key wouldn't work, obviously. It wasn't long until I found out why. One computer per key.Now the trial has ended The OS uninstalls itself and I have to wait to get a legit copy before I can continue on with the work I have on my HDD. The uninstall program formats the entire drive, leaving me with NOTHING left.
After even using Microsoft's "Fix It" and Diagnostic tools,I get an automated e-mail "Your ID seems to have expired or you have already completed this process before.Contact your support engineer so they can guide you through the appropriate next steps"
Unable to install xp Pro. I have used various drives and this is the error message: System Setup Log- (C:windowssetuperr.log) Error: Installation Failed: D:1386asms. Error message: The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid.

Can anyone tell me what happens when the local administrator password on a PC Windows XP Pro/Windows 2000 Pro) is expired? From experience I know that you receive a prompt asking if you want to reset the password or not. Does this just pop-up forever or would you eventually be locked out of the local administrator account if the password wasn't reset? Is there any kind of official documentation about this out there? I've looked on TechNet but am not having much luck locating information. Also, does anyone know the registry key to set an expiration interval?
My Norton firewall is about to expire and I wanted to know if there was a more 'gamer' friendly firewall out there. Norton has caused me an endless stream of problems with my games since I got the damn thing and I would love to know if someone has better experience with a better firewall/antivirus.
If I RE-INSTALL XP again, will it give me 30 more days? All I need is a few hours, actually, because all I want is to get my stuff off the drive and be done with it...if we're able to do that, we'll probably subsequently give the machine away or sell it for cheap and let somebody else buy a copy of windows for it...so, if I were to re-install XP again, would it give me more time? Also, would there be a way to install the OS without formatting the whole drive (so that my files, pics, etc aren't written over)? If I were to install something like Windows ME, which I'm told doesn't need to be activated, could I retrieve my files THAT way? Or would it have to reformat the whole drive?
My EZ security software expired and within a couple of days I couldn't access the Internet. I have since installed Norton 2006 and ran a scan but I still can't access. I can use Outlook Express OK though. I followed instructions off another site which is recommended before posting a HijackThis log. I ran the ATF Cleaner, then created a restore point. I then ran Ad-aware SE bt couldn't run the webupdate feature as I have no internet connection due to this problem. I ran the scan anyway. I then ran AVG Anti-spyware though again couldn't update the definition files because I couldn't connect due to the problem I have. I ran the scan anyway. I couldn't run the Panda Activescan because I again can't connect. I have attached the report from the AVG Anti-spyware scan along with the HijackThis report and uninstall_list. I am posting this from my friends PC so will have to go back and forward to do what you recommend.
I currently have Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite 6 & it is due to expire in about 8 days. I was wondering what others of you used for anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewalls etc.I have heard that sometimes it's not the best idea to use a complete package, like ZA internet security suite, for the whole lot You hear a lot of conflicting info about them all, I've heard that AVG is good, Norton isn't, someone said windows defender was good.
I got Compaq Armada 1592 Its screen said password expired, enter old password, then the new password. I entered old password, tried all sorts of combinations of upper case, lower case I thought I could just bypass that screen and start as new user, but apparently not.
I have a damaged Windows XP CD and do not think its fair I pay just to request the info in getting it replaced. I saw this option and wanted to see if I could get something done about it.
I have a damaged OEM CD and the expired CDKEY that came with it from maximum activations as I was having BSOD problems which then was discovered to be bad RAM. The company I bought it from is now bankrupt and non-existant. Now I am left with a CD that makes a great coaster and a CDKEY that has expired from activation. When I first installed it 1 support request was already used? I had made one request and registered it with Microsoft so it has to be on archive even if it hasn't been used.Since I can't copy and paste.
