[Qemu-devel] WinXP, Error code: 0x800703e6 - data points

[Qemu-devel] WinXP, Error code: 0x800703e6 - data points

[Richard Neill]

Dear All,

I'm experiencing the

	"A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the
	license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6." bug.

I'm using a site-licensed version of XP-pro (which identifies itself as 
build 2600), and the most recent 2004-11-22_23 snapshot of qemu.
I managed to successfully make it install, and it will boot happily, but 
only in safe mode with no networking.

I just thought you might like to know the results of my research: namely 
that ALL of the following workarounds FAIL:


1) http://www.talkroot.com/archive/topic/18578-1.html
         Start/run regsvr32 regwizc.dll
         Then start/run regsvr32 licdll.dll


2)
http://www.talkroot.com/showthread.php?threadid=18578
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310794


3)Created normal and limited users (while in safe mode). These also fail 
in normal mode.

4)
Trying:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306081
The commands they specify don't actually work, (the recovery-mode 
doesn't like the %), but doing what they MEAN, rather than what they 
say, manages to succesfully restore exact copies of the former files.

It doesn't fix the problem.


Anyway, hopefully this will save someone else an hour of wasted googling 
and experiments.

As for Product Activation, it just makes me grateful for Linux!

Best wishes

Richard

If you install Service Pack 1 or later this message will disappear.

Genius! Thank you for that.

For reference, since there's no way to install SP1 without a working 
network, I did it by saving the file, and creating a .iso using mkisofs.

[This might be worth adding to the online documentation}

Best wishes

Richard

[Qemu-devel] Qemu - documentation suggestion - soundcard

[Richard Neill]

Dear All,

Another suggestion for adding to the documentation:

Under WindowsXP, as well as invoking qemu with --enable-audio, it's 
necessary to go to Control panel -> Add/Remove Hardware and manually add 
the SoundBlaster 16.


Incidentally, is SB16 audio INPUT supported yet? It doesn't appear to 
work - although this could be my fault for doing the wrong thing.

Regards

Richard

No ADC is not supported.

Thanks for letting me know. That's a pity - I was hoping to be able to 
do voice recognition using Windows software. Is this something that is 
planned? Is it something I might be able to do (I can program, but more 
web-based than low-level) ?

Best wishes

Richard

Currently i have no plans to implement ADC. It's doable, but will require
some dedication and time.
