I have encountered this error while trying to log into windows xp:
"A problem is preventing windows from accurately checking license for this computer. Error Code: 0x800700b6"

System restore did not help

What could be the reason?

Thanx

 
Problem Description:
This may occur if Service Pack 1 has been removed from the computer either through System Restore or by reinstalling Windows XP into the same directory. You may see a page that states that the Web page has an unexpected error or cannot display the page that was requested.

Resolutions:
The value for the CSDVersion in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Windows
needs to be changed to 0. If you are comfortable editing the registry, follow the instructions below.
1. Click "Start," and then click "Run."
2. In the Open box type regedit and click "OK."
3. Browse in the left frame to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Windows
4. In the right frame you will see the key CSDVersion. Double click this key.
5. Change the value to 0 and click "OK."
6. Restart the computer.


This fix is confirmed working for at least 1 other person.

Hi, did you try the fresh actovation?

1. In the registry, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents

Highlight it and File - Export (as a precaution) then
in the right pane double click OOBETimer and very carefully change just
the first byte (to say 00)

2. Copy the two files windows\system32\wpa.dbl and wpa.bak to a
different folder, and delete them

3. Get on the internet

4. Go to
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Activate Windows
and use Activate on the internet now.

Hope this helps. Please let know if this resolve your issue
