Aug 25, 2005for a little while now i've been unable to connect to any servers, or at least thats what i think. I play lots of games online and so on. things were fine and then one day i recieved this error while trying to play 'halo' online. 'An error has occurred while trying to contact the gamespy master server'. after messing around with halo for a while i tried other games; doom3, quake3, counter strike and so on, but all with the same effect, i couldnt connect to a server. This was also the case when i tried to update Ad-aware, it freezes when i try to update. I've checked my firewall and individual programs but have come to no conclusion. have also tried 'system restores' but each time they fail?
View 2 Replies View RelatedRAS Connection To Connect To Servers Via IP
Aug 2, 2007I use Windows RAS connections to connect to servers via IP. Recently, they have "stopped working" the first time I connect, then every other time after that. The modem connects, I can log in just fine, it assigns me an IP address, but I can't ping the server. If I hang up and do it again, I can then ping the server. If I hang up and do it a 3rd time, it doesn't work. 4th time it does, etc, etc...I have dozens of servers I connect to and they all do this and it didn't do it a few weeks ago, so I know it's not the equipment. I have XP Pro verson 2002 Service Pack 2 and I'm current on all Microsoft updates. I have automatic updates setup and I do recall that my computer had reset (which means it did an update) a few days before I noticed the problem. I know Microsoft has had RAS issues in the past.

TS Connection Error Connecting To Only 2 Of 5 Servers
Dec 5, 2008We have one computer that is unable to connect via RDP to two servers. The system gives an error "The remote session was disconnected because there are no Terminal Server Licenses". We know that it is a computer issue because we can have that same user logon to another computer and they can use RDP to connect to all servers. This is a fresh install of XP Pro SP3. We have 5 different servers that users can logon to, 3 are Server 2000 and the other 2 are Server 2003.

Dec 11, 2007It has been suggested that using a proxy server will help to make my system more secure while I'm online. I looked at some of the suggested free proxy servers, but they seemed not to work well if at all. The explanations were well enough for me to follow but my system ran exceedingly slow or the sites I tried to access disallowed this. So I want to find a reliable site to buy one. I came across HIDE MY IP site and it looked easy to follow and was not overly expensive. My main thought was, how can I tell when a site which offers programs is actually not unscrupulous?

Feb 12, 2006I just installed Windows XP Pro on my new custom built computer, but the installation CD was not mine to begin with, but I do have an upgrade CD to Windows XP Pro that I thought I could use the activation code with, which eventually found out that It would not allow me to put the activation product key from my upgrade CD for the installation CD that I started with.Would anyone know the way around this problem? I certainly would not like to buy a new installation CD and start my OS again clean.

Sep 5, 2005I've just been round to help my neighbour with her laptop... she's 80 (Bless!) Anyway, when booting up a message appears to say that before windows can log on the product (XP Home) needs to be activated. No problem, so I press OK. But then, in the Product Activation window it says, This product has already been activated, press OK. Which I do but then it shuts down. It's just a continual circle that I can't seem to get out of. By the way, it boots up okay in safe Mode.

Jun 22, 2005Just have a quick question
Ive just bought an old pc off a "friend" who assured me his copy of XP was legit
I have gotten to the activation stage and it turns out its the wrong code
So what i was thinking was using my own disc that i have just bought, but i dont know how to format the hard drive from the activation screen.As i dont have the right code for the copy that is installed at the moment, i would prefer to use my own copy, but everytimne i start up, it just boots to the log in screen, then asks if i want to activate this copy. If i say no, it logs me off

View 2 Replies View RelatedTransferring Pro Licensing And Activation?
Sep 8, 2005I installed XP Pro on an old machine for my in-laws (about a year ago). I have now purchased them a new computer, but it came w/ XP Home. I would like to upgrade the new machine from Home to Pro. I will be removing XP Pro from the old machine & reformatting the hard drive. The MS site indicates this is possible, but doesn't mention anything about licensing restrictions or activation. I tried to find the licensing agreement to see what it said about transfer a license to another computer but couldn't find it. I'm also curious how the activation process will go... Will I be able to just do the online activation or will I need to do the phone activation since I'm transferring a license.
View 3 Replies View RelatedXp Activation Backup / Restore
Jan 17, 2008I have been having ALOT of trouble with my computer lately and it has been relating to an MBR virus. I ran 4 different low level virus wipers and 3 low level formats on my drive to get rid of it and it worked. Before I did all of this i was sure to backup my windows activation information. So I looked up what to backup online and the general consensus was to go to the system32 folder and backup wpa.dbl and wpa.bak, so i did. I finnally got windows re-installed and stable and just how it was before all of this. So I went into safe mode, backed up the un-activated wpa.dbl file that was there and replaced it with the previosly activated wpa.dbl and wpa.bak files. I rebooted normally and when i arrived at the logon screen it told me that windows MUST be activated and do I wish to do so. I chose no and it went back to the logon screen. I clicked on my user name once more and it went straight through but once I arrived at the desktop it told me windows was still un-activated and my 30-Day grace period was still active. I need to figure out how I can get my version of windows re-activated with my back-up files becuase I have already activated my code twice in the last month and they will not let me do it again.

View 8 Replies View RelatedRe-activation Exceeded - Using EZGig S/w
Feb 14, 2009I recently copied the image of my nearly full HD to a new, larger one, using EZGig s/w and windows XP runs fine, but required that I activate it. Upon attempting that it tells me I have exceeded the number of activations and will have only 3 days before it will no longer work, pending my action(??)So, I got on the MS live-chat site and though the technician tried to help me, was not able to activate the version on the larger HD and at each boot got a message that I had 3 days to fix it, somehow. I tried calling back, but couldn't get in and then 2 days later a lady from India(??) called me at 3AM!!! to ask if the problem was solved. I told her no and asked her to call back at a more descent hour. But, no resolution yet.
My workaround would be to reformat the new, larger, drive and let it be the D and leave my old "activated" one as C, but would rather have the contiguous larger one as C.I can see where they would not want people cloning their XP on hard drives for profit and didn't know there was a counter for # of activations, or what it is. I have had a couple different MB and 3 hard drives in the past 6-7 yrs, so apparently I met the limit.

Aug 16, 2005A friend of mine had some files on their computer corrupted and they couldn't find their copy of XP that came with their computer, so I used mine to just do a system repair. I've done repairs before on my own system and it didn't ask me to activate it, so I thought this would help solve the problem. Unfortunatly, it is asking for an activation and we still can't find my friends copy. Is all hope lost? or is there something else I should try first? Both of us have valid copies of XP, so I didn't expect to have this
many problems by just doing a system repair. Thanks in advance
Unable To Download Due To Activation?
Dec 25, 2007I'm currently building a new system and I also want to upgrade one of my Win98 systems to win XP. I have a genuine copy of Windows XP (SP2) which has never been used. Looking around for a second OS I can see very cheap downloads of XP professional from commercial sites. (much cheaper than the amount I paid for the XP home edition). If I download the zip files I couild create an ISO image for a CD install on the new system .... but will there be a problem with activation?
