Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 100's of CD keys were invalidated in XP SP1 and SP2 you most likely have one of those keys.You can call MS and explain to them (If your key is legal) that is has been blacklisted and they might issue you a new one.Or did you remove OOBE? (Will cause activation issues in non VLK versions of XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny2929 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thank you for your reply,I have already called MS and my cd key is OK. For OOBE, where can i find it in nlite when a i do a new custom install ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dworkin Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Are you trying to install a different version of XP (i.e. different language) with the same product key? If so, that could be the reason it's failing. Otherwise, it could be a typing mistake in the product key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just check this little box here and it will hide all of the options that will mess up your activation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 That little box shows up when nLite runs and you get to the "remove components" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly64 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) That little box shows up when nLite runs and you get to the "remove components" section.And there it is, I usually ask at least one stupid question each day.
