Error code 0x80070002 and XP problems
OK...here's the details...
Did a clean install of XP Pro....went through OK, but could not log on....got error code 0x0-80070002 citing license checking issue.
Checked out Microsoft.....they note this is a known problem with XP and Dell computers.
Gave a workaround that says to reset the default security provider by deleting the keys in the registry
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
So went into Safe Mode and ran Regedt32.exe
HOWEVER.....these do NOT exist in the registry!!
I searched through and found the Cryptography\Providers folder in the HKEY_LOCALMACHINE folder
Tried deleting it....but then got different error code 0x80090019 after reboot (still could not log on)
The HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20 did not exist at all. Did find similar folder S-1-5-21 but nothing in it matched their path.
Please HELP!!!!!!
Thanks...........................
