Since we don't know anything about your computer, I include the
information about the Dell problem here:

Activation on Dell Inspiron 8100 - Activation problems occur because of
a conflict between the XP activation component and the Inspiron 8100's
graphics adapter. As a work around, boot the installation in base-video
mode by :

    a. Run msconfig and select boot.ini tab.
    b. Select boot entry and then select the /BASEVIDEO check box, Apply
& OK. Reboot.

After your computer reboots with the /basevideo option, you can activate
Windows. After activation, remove the /basevideo option from boot.ini
and reboot.

Otherwise, try MVP Rick Rogers' fix:

Click start/run, type "regsvr32 regwizc.dll" (without the quotes) and
click "ok". Then do the same for "regsvr32 licdll.dll". You should get
a successful message for both and it should resolve the error message.
If not, then try these steps:

Start the computer in Safe mode by hitting F8 at startup. Click
start/run, type regedit and click ok. Expand the branches in the left
pane by clicking the plus (+) signs to reach these keys:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Providers

Click on the folder representing each key and delete them one at a time.
You may want to create a backup before doing so by clicking file/export
and saving a copy to the desktop. If there is a problem after deleting,
you can put the key back by double-clicking it. If there is no problem,
you can delete the key later. When finished, restart the system
normally after closing the registry editor.

Note: If you used reset5 to crack the Windows XP installation
previously, the above steps will not work.
