I messed up a couple things in my registry, I guess. I exported the keys before I changed them and did a system restore point too, but I now I can't get past I can't get past the logon screen. Tried as administrator, user and guest. Everytime I get a message saying this version of XP requires activation, and that I can not log in until it has been activated. It asks if I want to activate now, yes, or no. I tried both option and neither one goes anywhere.
Is there a way to run system restore from dos? Or a way to edit the registry from dos, or a way to bypass the logon screen?
Or is there a way to replace the registry? I do have three .reg files on my desktop that would fix the registry problem if I could apply them from dos.
I have tried F8 and booting to last known good setup... no good.
Tried safe mode, no good.
Any thing that would get me in would be helpfull. If I can just get past the must be activated warning I can fix the rest of it.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
