I HAVE A "VLK" WIN XP-PRO CD WHICH WAS INSTALLED OK ON MY OLD HD. ADDED NEW HD, FORMATTED W/PM 7.0.
AFTER INSTALL OF XP-PRO COULD NOT LOG IN TO ACCESS PROGRAM. (ERROR: A PROBLEM IS PREVENTING WINDOWS FROM ACCURATELY CHECKING THE LICENSE FOR THIS PC, ERROR CODE:OX80070002).I HAVE A DUAL-BOOT SETUP HAVING INSTALLED WIN98 PREVIOUSLY.I TRIED MS KNOWLEDGE BASE ARTICLE Q310794,BUT THE REGISTRY KEYS THEY SUGGESTED DELETE WERE NOT IN MY REGISTRY AS PRINTED.(THIS HAS TO DO WITH RESETTING THE DEFAULT SECURITY PROVIDER IN WIN-XP) THEIR 2ND SUGGESTION, RESET DRIVE LETTER OF THE SYSTEM DRIVE, IN CHECKING THE REGISTRY, THE EXISTING DRIVE LETTER WAS CORRECT. PLEASE HELP.

Here's one suggestion from the forums that shouldn't hurt:

Go to Start>Run, and type:

regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll

then type:

regsvr32.exe licdll.dll

DKLIPPERT: THANKS FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE, BUT DIDN'T WORK. DO I NEED TO UNDO YOUR SUGGESTION?

9/7/02 FOUND I CAN BOOT INTO SAFE MODE IN WIN-XP.WHEN THE WINDOWS LOGON WINDOW BOX APPEARS, I CAN ENTER MY ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD, AND XP GOES INTO SAFE MODE. IF I TRY TO LOGIN NORMALLY IT GIVES ME THE ABOVE ERROR CODE.

go into the safe mode, remove all the network components, remove all the users other than the admin. then go back into the normal mode. it should work ;)

CIPERSKULL: Tried suggestion, did not solve problem. Decided to reformat that specific drive and start over. Thanks Guys.
