When you start your computer, you receive:
A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the license for this computer. Error code: 0x80070002.
This problem is caused by changing the system drive letter or by changing the default security provider.
If your system drive letter has changed, undo the actions that caused it, or:
1. Use the Registry Editor to navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Defaults\Provider.
2. In each Provider key, edit the Image Path value to match the new drive letter.
3. When you are finished, exit the Registry Editor and shutdown / restart your computer.
If the default security provider has changed:
1. Restart your computer in Safe mode by pressing F8 during startup.
2. Use the Registry Editor to delete the following keys:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
3. Exit the Registry Editor and shutdown / restart your computer.

I've being using a Windows Professional Edition with no problem till recently 18-01-08
A few days back, my laptop was infected with numerous numbers of spy-wares sufficient to track my every move thus I used the Microsoft System Recovery to go back to a normal operating system that wasn't infected which is on 16-01-08.
Could it be due to the "un-wanted spy-ware" has taken over my laptop's ID and IP Address??

Because Windows XP doesn't tolerate piracy of any sorts, you get this error.

Look under the Re-activation for Windows XP section.
Like i said as per above, how do I go into the start-up screen with the notebook unable to function properly.
Re-Activation for Windows XP
Should you restore your system to a point before you activated XP on your computer, the OS will forget that you activated it and you'll need to reactivate XP. If the system restore point is past the 30-day grace period that Microsoft allows for activation, you'll have to activate XP immediately.
The only workaround to reactivating your system is to perform the following steps:
Start your Windows installation in Minimal Safe mode.
Move to the \%systemroot%\system32 folder.
Rename wpa.dbl to wpa.noact.
Rename wpa.bak to wpa.dbl.
Reboot your system as normal.
Note: The above procedure will work only if you've made no significant hardware changes.
Well, i do have it.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Not even Safe Mode?
If you can't even go Safe Mode, do you have the Windows CD?
any idea on how to retrieve them then?Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:The folders are hidden.
many thanks.
after some tries,
although i'm able to view those hidden files, but have yet to find those hidden favorites of firefox in the laptop.
are there any other ways to know exactly where are the files being kept other than searching the whole laptop for it?
You gotta read through the whole article to find out where your files are. It stated that's in your Firefox profile folder.
Here's where to find them - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder
found it, and many thanks.
btw: should anybody else get such an error like mine, just repair the windows will do.
The files will remain intact as usual.
