Hello all,
So i installed a cracked windows xp on my pc some years ago and recently a message came up everytime i booted up saying that i should confirm my version of windows is genuine via windows genuine advantage.
tired of this i went in search of a fix on the net to stop this message from popping up and foolishly followed a tutorial advising me to delete a folder in the registry named 'winlogon'.
after i rebooted windows it's now asking for username and password (there was none before that). i enter 'administrator' for username and hit enter and it seems to log me in (playing the login chime) then almost immediately logs me out and takes me back to the login screen again.
I tried repairing using the same windows xp setup cd i used years ago but when the computer reads it it just say Boot from CD and the curser just blinks, nothing happens. I feel so stupid for troubling anything in the registry but now i'm humbly seeking your help once again to resolve this.
Thanks in advance
