Go to C:\Windows\System32 and you should see a file called WPA.DBL already there.请移至C ： \的Windows \ system32和您应该会看到一个名为wpa.dbl已经存在。 Simply rename it to something like WPA.BACKUP and then copy your backup version of WPA.DBL to the current location.简单地将它重新命名为一些想wpa.backup然后复制您的备份版本的wpa.dbl到当前所在的位置。
Restart the computer and Windows should now be activated and working fine.重新启动计算机和Windows现在应该是启动和工作的罚款。 Remember that this will only work if you use the WPA.DBL file on the same computer that it was originally activated on.请记住，这只会工作，如果您使用wpa.dbl文件在同一台计算机上，这是本来就激活。 If you install XP on a different machine and try to copy the WPA.DBL file there, it won’t activate.如果您安装了XP的一个不同的机器，并尝试复制wpa.dbl文件，它不会启动。 Basically, XP looks at the hardware of the computer to create a unique profile for just that one computer.基本上， XP的看来，在硬件的计算机建立一个独特的配置，只是在一台计算机上。 Enjoy!享受！
