problem with logons(keep poping error message)

error message - Value creation failed" at line 8

from WinCustomize Forums

I've been having this problem and I need help for real..

My OS is Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP1

and when I set logons it just make error!

currently I'm using Mac OS X Tiger logons and when I get into logon screen it pops up with this error message

 

 

-Parser Message-

value creation failed" at line 8.

 

so I thought it was problem with that theme, but it was not!

when I used basic built-in logon theme it pops up with same message, but different line number.

I've been having this problem for like half year..

somebody please help me!

 sounds wacky like files are missing from somewhere. If this was my pc, I would just reinstall windows......I mean if you have been putting up with this for 6 months, than an extra 40 minutes to format your pc, wont be missed.......  

then I would seriously consider downloading some updates from windows microsoft (hopefully you have an orginal copy of windows xp home, not a pirate) you only have sp1, you need sp2.

i would be downloading every update they have available at microsoft that is useful to you.

thats just my 2 cents and what I'd do...but you know there is probably another simple solution that would probably take under a nano second to do.......  .and Im always known for taking the long way home......

either way, I hope you get the help you need.

I wish I can put SP2, but most of my drivers doesn't support SP2.... that's why I have SP1... and also it's original copy... and up to date... I tried to reinstall Windows, but Microsoft said "you can't activate your windows again, blah blah blah." I told them I restored, so I need to activate again and it's same computer, but they still didn't let it... so I bought another OEM SP1 CD... I don't wanna restore again, cuz I think they won't let me activate again... what an asshole...

hi Jake, thats strange....I wonder why you cant activate windows again? I always am able to...

this is a very weird situation! when I format my drive, im always wipe the current windows completley and start from scratch, then I am prompted to register my windows, and I do. I have the same windows as you. xp home, but mine is 2006. By rights, the activation of windows is your own doing when you install it. its the registration that microsoft want....so why they are not letting you 'activate' is strange, then again I do wonder about the windows disk itself.....maybe you can borrow a friend's windows disk that also original, because im having frowning concerns about that disk of yours and i think thats the problem. I hope this helps!
