Ok, power down the computer:
- Type the command exit, then press the Enter key. The computer will reboot.
- Press the up arrow key on the keyboard as soon as the black screen is displayed during the boot asking you to select which operating system to start. This will keep the computer from booting into Windows XP.
- Press the power button on your computer to power down.
I'll be back later with my next post.
Yes sir. Thanks for helping me so far vict0r. It was very much appreciated!
I'll wait for you patiently.
Since you were never given a Windows Product Key and Windows was deactivated by Combofix, it is likely that the built in activation system has been tampered with and that the Windows install on the computer is not legitimate.I was never given a Windows product key since the computer was custom built.
You can attempt to resolve the problem by following the activation wizard to activate windows. It is recommended that you choose the option to activate by phone but you can also attempt to activate over the internet (i.e. in safe mode with networking). Remember that Microsoft will not ask for payment/credit card information for the activation.
If you are able to activate Windows and then asked to activate again at next boot, then refer to this article by Microsoft:

Unsuccessful activation means that the Windows install is not legitimate. Refer to this post:
