The WPA.DBL file is actually an RC4-encrypted database of the expiration info of your installation, the confirmation of activation, the hardware configuration at activation time, and the current hardware configuration. When you first install Windows XP, this file is approximately 2K in size--not MUCH more than a stub file. When you activate Windows, this file grows to approximately 12K-13K, recording the hardware STATUS of your machine. At each boot, Windows analyzes your current hardware and compares it to the stored configuration information to see if it has changed. When you make hardware changes, Windows makes a note of the changes in the WPA file, but keeps the original configuration for reference. If you make too many changes, Windows XP will reset the WPA.DBL file back to its original non-activated (2K file size) state, and you have to reactivate. As mentioned above, the WPA.DBL file can be backed up to permit activation if you reload Windows XP. You can also experiment with different hardware configurations, as we did in preparation for this article. You would back up WPA.DBL for each configuration change, so you can roll back WHENEVER desired, similar to what developers may do frequently, as mentioned above. If you save a copy of the WPA.DBL file at each change of hardware, you can roll back to almost any state. One caveat, from our testing--we found that the WPA.DBL was not protected similar to other system files. If you delete the file, you need to reactivate.

WPA.DBL--The Keeper of the Keys

The WPA.DBL file resides in the Windows\system32 directory and holds the hardware configuration information and activation state of the current Windows XP installation. The WPA.DBL file is actually an RC4-encrypted database of the expiration info of your installation, the confirmation of activation, the hardware configuration at activation time, and the current hardware configuration. When you first install Windows XP, this file is approximately 2K in size--not MUCH more than a stub file. When you activate Windows, this file grows to approximately 12K-13K, recording the hardware STATUS of your machine. At each boot, Windows analyzes your current hardware and compares it to the stored configuration information to see if it has changed. When you make hardware changes, Windows makes a note of the changes in the WPA file, but keeps the original configuration for reference. If you make too many changes, Windows XP will reset the WPA.DBL file back to its original non-activated (2K file size) state, and you have to reactivate.

As mentioned above, the WPA.DBL file can be backed up to permit activation if you reload Windows XP. You can also experiment with different hardware configurations, as we did in preparation for this article. You would back up WPA.DBL for each configuration change, so you can roll back WHENEVER desired, similar to what developers may do frequently, as mentioned above. If you save a copy of the WPA.DBL file at each change of hardware, you can roll back to almost any state.

One caveat, from our testing--we found that the WPA.DBL was not protected similar to other system files. If you delete the file, you need to reactivate. The WPA.DBL is also not included in Windows XP's system restore mechanism. so how do i re-activate it if i have no product key? Quote from: arkbound on January 16, 2010, 12:24:26 PM

2152.	Solve : laptop cooling fan?
Answer» any one know of a good cooling fan for my laptop, do they work? my laptop cooling fan is always running in the backgroundI just got a cooler about 10 days ago. Yes, it helps. The fan in my laptop runs much less often now. The one I bought is EVERCOOL Aluminum Notebook Cooling Pad Model NP-301, from newegg.com. You can see their entire selection here. Since this is my first experience with a laptop cooler, I had a hard time deciding which one to get. These coolers have anywhere 1 to 4 fans. The one I bought has 2 fans. It's a bit louder than I expected, based on user REVIEWS I READ on newegg.com. I saw numerous comments about it being quiet. So, maybe my expectation on that point was unrealistic. Otherwise, I fairly pleased with it. I like the fact that it has 2 USB ports on the left side. One of them must be connected to the laptop, since the fans get their power from a USB port. I was CONCERNED about having to use a USB port on my laptop to power a cooler since it only has 3 ports. But, the second port on the cooler can be used for other devices, so, in effect, I still have 3 ports available for devices other than the cooler. I was just looking at the selection on newegg.com again. If the USB ports issue I EXPLAINED above is not an issue, here's a good deal: Rosewill 7"-14.1" Black Notebook Cooling Pad Model RNA-3000. With the free shipping offer now in effect, you can get it for only $20. Take a look at user reviews; they might help you make a decision.

2153.	Solve : Trying to debug an assertion error....have no idea what I'm doing!?
Answer» HI, Recently a game on my computer stopped working (WITHIN the past 3 days). It loads almost all the way, then it says "ASSERTION Failed" and something about a visual c++ error. When I hit "debug", NOTHING happens and the game shuts down. I tried a "hijack this" log, but I don't know what to delete or fix.

Thanks!Any icon or just one?Thanks for the quick response Allan. I cannot right click on a folder or a single file without hanging up. I believe that menu that normally comes up when you right click is called a Context Menu (I'm trying!) and that does not even come up. -CindyDoes this only happen with desktop icons or does it also happen within Windows Explorer? Did this just start? If so, what is new since the last time it worked properly (new hw, sw, error, virus, etc)?The only new software installed was Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware program. It did detect a couple of viruses. I have pasted in the log below. I have run the scan a couple more times and it has not found anything else.

2162.	Solve : Where did my folders and files go??
Answer» Hello everyone! I am new in this forum, so I am sorry if I posted this in the wrong area or if I did anything wrong while posting this topic. I am quite desperate here! I have a folder in my Desktops where I put all my Anime, and for each anime, I have anothe folder, so far I had a few Gigabytes of animes in there. Earlier today, I started to download an episode, and as usual I put it inside the Anime folder on my desktop, and then inside its folder (as I always do). When the download was finally finished, I looked into my Anime folder and I saw that everything was gone! Except the anime file I just had downloaded! I scanned my whole PC using Recuva, which didn't find any of my missing files and folders, I tried using "Start Search" which was able to find the shortcuts to my missing files, but did not find the files. Does anyone know what could've happened? Just in case you need to know this, my operational system is Windows Vista, and my internet browser was Google Chrome. Thank you very much!Was this folder always a desktop folder ? ? Are you the only User on this MACHINE or are there others ? ?The Anime folder has always been on my Desktop. And I am the only user on this machine. ^^I don't know what extension those files have but if you do a .___ whatever it is in the blank above search it will come up with ALL files of that type. In other words if i wanted to find all text files on my machine i WOULD open search and type in .txt....and HIT Enter. Hopefully your files are still there...which i'm sure they are because a DLoad can't randomly remove files...anyways best of luck and i hope i haven't confused the issue.I tried that... It didn't find anything... The file types were .ram and some of them were .rmvb I know the files are definitely gone from the folder, because it used to be about 6 Gigabytes and now its only 60 Megabytes. Another thing I noticed (this might be a good thing), is that the memory space in my computer is still the same as it was before my files disappeared, can this mean they still are around? I really don't understand why or how this happened... I am absolutely sure I did nothing different, I did not mess with the files before the download or anything...Have you checked the recycle bin?ohh yes! That was the first place I checkedHave you opened Windows Explorer and looked in the folder to which the desktop shortcut is linked?So you did a search for .ram ? ? And .rmvd ? ? And it came up with nothing ? ? I find that hard to believe.Allan: yes I have, no good though patio: sorry about that, I did actually find the file shortcuts, but whenever I try to open them, a dialog box opens saying that the file locations were CHANGED, so I need to browse for them, or one that says that the file the shortcut REFERS to has been moved, so the shortcut doesn't work anymore. I attached both dialog boxes on this post. [Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]I'd suggest deleting the shortcuts and re-running the search process...they have to be somewhere...note the text in the breadcrumb bar "Search results in indexed locations; try the "advanced search" option.Thanx BC...nice catch...We'll guys... Thank you very much for all your help, but I tried everything, and unless I am doing something really wrong while I am trying to search for the files, I really cannot find them anymore. I deleted the short cuts, and still nothing... The advanced search finds a lot of stuff, but not the files I am missing. The only thing I would like to know is what could've happened? So I don't repeat the same mistake again. Once more thank you very much.Years ago I encountered a system that had a virus which changed the extension of all media files. Have you run full scans with BOTH your AV and MalwareBytes?

Here...Patio, Thank's for the prompt reply. I too thought i ought to be able to do it with Crucial.

First, agree to the terms and conditions. Click the "start my scan" button. Save the file to your desktop, or anywhere you prefer.

How can I get a free program to which all DOWNLOADED attached files will automatically be directed into?I would suggest something called 7-Zip, it's free.Thanks. I downloaded it, but the problem persists. The attachment is clearly a Winzip attachment file(I see the Winzip lock), so no matter what unlock program I have, I can't unlock it from WinZip. Unless someone tells me how to do it. All I can do is ask the person who sent it to USE another program, or is the problem at my end?Right click any zip file > Open with > Choose Default Program. Choose 7-Zip, and make sure the checkbox is CHECKED to "Always use this programs to open this type of file", or something like that.I wish I had those choices. After right clicking, I get Open link in new tab, in new window, in incognito window, Save link as....or Copy link address. What next?I meant in your documents or somewhere else on your PC, not in the web browser.I'm really confused now. I did go back to Windows XP and found the WinZip file, right-clicked it and Opened With (had 2 choices: Choose Program or C:Program Files\.....7-zip. I clicked on both and couldn't get anywhere.

2175.	Solve : Tool to check payment hosting providers for ecommerce applications?
Answer» HI all, I'm throwing out a question that someone may be aware of. Is there any way of checking an individual website's payment hosting provider? For example, a merchant is using an unknown hosting provider when they should be using something like Sagepay/Protex/Worldpay.. is there any way of detecting what payment hosting provider they are actually using by going through their website/IP address? I'm quite new to this, so please bare with me! Thanks &AMP; Regards, Laurahttp://whois.domaintools.com If I understand your question properly, the above should help.I would say if it's not PayPal or another reputable outfit i'd either contact the vendor for more info or stay away ALTOGETHER...Thanks guys kpac, that's a pretty good tool, but when I look up something like www.ebay.com.. it doesn't give me the payment service provider called paypal?? Am I missing something? Oh, sorry. That link I posted only gives you the web hosting provider. What is the site you have in mind?For example www.ebay.com - It's paymnet hosting provider is paypal.. I'd like to see this result.Why do you want to know this? I believe you normally will not see the website's payment hosting provider stated on the websites of online sellers. Can you show me a major online seller who provides that info? How about newegg.com, amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, etc. Do you see that info on their site? That's a back-end, behind-the-scenes function. Your main CONCERN should be with the reputation of the primary website, i.e. the seller. Or course, any website that accepts financial transactions online should use secure pages for that part of their website. This means using SSL; you'll see the SIGNS of this by http changing to https and your web browser displaying an icon indicating the page is in secure mode.

This requirement might also be difficult for anyone without fairly extensive knowledge of INVESTING in stocks. And, what is your level of Excel expertise? Do you know how to create charts in Excel? One suggestion is to look for a TEMPLATE. Here's something that might be a starting point: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/TC010233521033.aspx?CategoryID=CT101444811033 I don't know whether it has charts in it but those could be ADDED.

2191.	Solve : Sharepod will not start. Shows in Task Manager as a process.?
Answer» When I doubled click the icon the sharepod.exe will show in the TASK manager and the cpu percent next to it goes to 99 everytime but the program does not start. This CONTINUES until I end the process. The day before it worked FINE. Everytime, before, when I start this program I have to click a menu that will allow the program to run but this has not caused programs. I was going to uninstall and reinstall and found it's not listed in the remove programs menu so I just deleted it and downloaded it again but the same thing happens. I didn't LIST too much info about my computer but if it'll help I'll try to figure that stuff out. Update: I've tried re-installing and the same problem. I removed I tunes cause maybe that's CAUSING something but no better. I ran another program that asks for permission to run everytime and doesn't show in the installed program menu and that program would start as usual.

2192.	Solve : Only 1/2 space used copying MP4 files (Karaoke) to SD Card.?
Answer» I recently bought a Leadsinger II Karaoke mic that is an "all in one" system. It USES SD cards for the music. It supposedly can support up to 8 GB cards. With this purchase, I received 2 DVDs, each with approx 500 Karaoke songs in MP4 format. I bought a 8 GB SDHC card but it would only WORK with less than 500 MB of songs on it. I assumed that the SDHC card may not be compatible with the mic. I then got a couple 2 GB "basic" SD cards. When transferring the MP4 Karaoke files from either the DVDs or from my computer to any of the SD cards, it will only use / allocate approx 1.1 GB (or half) of the card space. Both cards show approx .8 GB of free space. Given the size of the files, I should be able to save about 200 songs per 2GB card. I can only save 120 or less on each. Is there something I can do to maximize the space on these cards? Thanks in advance.What OS ? ?Vista Quote from: dbagbrown on December 27, 2009, 09:02:50 AM I recently bought a Leadsinger II Karaoke mic that is an "all in one" system.

You may have to reformat the cards, Here is a link to a PROGRAM designed specifically for reformatting SD(HC) cards. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/index.htmlYou didn't get these cards from Ebay did you? well known that FAKE or relabelled faulty flash media are available on Ebay.

2193.	Solve : Outlook 2000: multiple selection limit??
Answer» After having been able to select entire columns of EMAILS for deletion, or to move between folders, suddenly Outlook has limited me to no more than 20 items. If I try to select more than that, it collapses to one item, and similarly, if I try to add more than that, USING the ctrl key, it collapses to one item. I can't find any preference or option to affect this, and can't find any reference to it online. Did I accidentally reset something? Have you tried with the Shift key instead ? ? Same results ?I've also tried the shift key, especially when trying to select a list of emails. It works for anything up to 20, but not more than that. This is a totally new behavior. I've been using the program since, well, 2000 essentially, and this only just started acting this way.Soybean here is one of our Outlook experts...perhaps he'll pop in sometime soon...I'm very familiar with Outlook too and have never heard of this issue. I'm going to check the options now.Have you recently changed screen resolution? See if this applies: http://outlookliveanswers.com/forums/p/1498/4982.aspxNo...no changes on resolution. The issue with Outlook live doesn't appear to relate, but I'm going to look into anything that might be affecting ANY of the caches on my machine. The only change I can think of occurring, possibly about the time things went screwy on me, might be installation of DragonSpeak...but I'm not sure they relate temporally.And I can't see a relationship either, but why not uninstall it temporarily and see what happens?After all the work I've put into getting it set up, I'm reticent, but if I can't find any other cause, I may consider it. I can live with only selecting 20 emails at a time, but it just seems odd, and is a bit irritating.Does this behavior appear to be limited to Outlook? If you open Windows Explorer to a folder containg many files, perhaps you My Documents folder, can you select over 20 files by using the Shift key? If you can't resolve this in Outlook based on what's been discussed so far, you might try Windows Live Mail (WLM). To import your messages from Outlook to WLM, I BELIEVE you NEED to first import to Outlook Express and then import from it to WLM. See Windows 7 - Importing mail from Outlook to Windows Live Mail for a discussion of this. Even though you're using Win XP, I believe the procedure would be the same. Another approach to solving your problem might be to uninstall and reinstall Outlook 2000. Of course, you must have your original software CD to do this. And, if you go this route, be sure to export all your Outlook messages, contacts, etc. so that you can import them back into Outlook after a reinstall. Although this step might not be necessary since a reinstalled Outlook might see your old .PST files and open them without doing an import, I'd definitely export before uninstalling Outlook to protect your data.You don't need to uninstall Outlook. You can start the MS Office install and it will offer to repair instead.

2194.	Solve : Software to Compare Folders and Files in Windows XP?
Answer» Hi I am hoping someone might be able to recommend a (preferably free) utility (or native method) for comparing the contents of Folders in Windows XP. I have just bought a couple of NEW external hard drives that are larger than my current pair and I want to transfer my core data. This is about 430 gigabytes of material composed of around 250,000 files. My pause is that there is a discrepency between my two current backup drives (which are meant to MIRROR one another perfectly). The difference is of three folders and 500 files. Is there some software that could help me to quickly identify what the one drive is lacking ?http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_033.html http://www.allwaysync.com/ http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-folder-synchronization-utility.htmI use Allwaysync regularly as do a few other people I know. It's been quite good and it's SIMPLE to use.Thanks for the pointers everyone. I TRIED http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/ and it's been HUGELY helpful so far.

2197.	Solve : graphics card failure?
Answer» I have a DELL 5150c desktop, running windows xp with all the latest service pack updates. The computer froze while viewing a virtual tour of a vacation rental, not reaction from ctl-alt-delete. Finally just powered the computer off. Now it won't BOOT, although the fan, etc runs. The diagnostic lights ( 2 + 4) indicate graphics card failure. Unfortunately, as far as I can TELL, there is no actual graphics card in these units that can be removed and replaced. It does, however, contain slots for PCI Express cards. My question is, could adding a card solve my problem or would the failed onboard graphics interfere with the functionality of the new card?

2199.	Solve : Where does Mozilla Thunderbird stores Account settings??
Answer» Hello There! Despite of completely removing Mozilla Thunderbird from my Hard DISK, on Re-installation, it FETCHES the same A/c. that I do not wanna see anymore! Moreover, during the uninstallation it do not asks to remove "Personal SETTINGS", "CUSTOMIZATIONS" like that to its brother Mozilla Firefox.....? How do I get rid of that particular email account, I configured inadvertently in a 'Wave' of thoughts?.... Help...Help...Help... Try using Revo to uninstall it.delete the %appdata%\Mozilla\Thunderbird folder.I found the way to get rid of that email A/c & all its respective emails. Here it goes::: Tools>>Account Settings>>Choose the A/c to be deleted in the left pane>>Choose the 'Account Options' at the bottom(Drop-down Menu)>>Remove A/c option is available! On the recommendation of REVO Uninstaller:: I use the same as a 'Default' choice for every Uninstallation.A/c settings & Customizations remain unaffected unless that very options is present in the actual Uninstaler of the actual application.
