Have XP Pro on my main puter with 2000,98SE,Linux > all on their own drives which I can boot from directly (Soyo Dragon Plus Motherboard has this capability). Use Zone Alarm Pro as my firewall program.
Problem: My 30 days are up and now I need to activate XP.Cannot get an internet connection thru XP Activation > have cable internet access.Now that I've thought about it I probably denied access to the Internet in Zone Alarm for Activation on one of the many times I was asked.Haven't used XP in over a week > now my 30 days are up > I'd like to do my activation over the internet.Is there some way that I could disable Zone Alarm even though I can't get any farther into XP than the Activation screen? Recovery Console? If so how? My own fault! Any help will be appreciated.!

Best bet would be to refresh your TrueVector database files.
Need to copy and paste. UBB code didn't work. Guess link is too long. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif

You would have to do this in DOS though. And you would have to proceed to Step #4.

What happens when you refresh your TrueVector database files is all settings in ZoneAlarm are reset back to default. All programs you denied or permitted will be gone and have to be redone.

Other than that, that is the only way I know of.
You might get other suggestions as well.

Ended up activating by phone- was much simpler than I thought it would be.

Tuzinor,

After doing some looking last night, I was about to suggest that as you option this morning. Glad it worked out for you.
