At worst I've occasionally had to call Microsoft because the online activation didn't go through - but it's always a simple process and the MS folks are very helpful. But recently, I encountered a business practice that blew me windows xp code purple away and soured me on a company I've always thought highly of and frequently recommend to my

clients. A customer brought in a HP Pavilion desktop (p6110y w/Vista) with a dead motherboard. They had purchased a new laptop and we grabbed

the data off the old computer. But they still wanted the desktop operational and wiped clean, so we ordered a refurbished motherboard for it, installed it, and ran the factory install from the recovery partition on the HD. When it finished, http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Your-system-has-detected-a-configuration-error-Code-purple/td-p/692441 the system rebooted and I saw this: Puzzled, I tried the recovery reinstall again. Same result. Before I was sitting in a call queue to HP, I did a little research, and found that HP was not playing fair… My first find was this thread about someone trying to replace the motherboard on their HP. While the original poster had apparently used a non HP motherboard replacement, other people posting had used HP motherboards and one even had *HP* repair the https://fixedit.itxpress.biz/2013/10/30/hps-code-purple-configuration-error/ computer (presumably using HP parts) and they encountered the error. That person was told to ship the system back due to a ‘firmware' issue. Riiiiight. My next find had similar advice, always use an HP motherboard (which I had done - it was an exact HP part number match to the failed one!). If you got this error - use a retail DVD to install Windows and no problem - but that's such a hassle compared to a recovery partition install. Then someone said something about a ‘check' directory and if you removed that, the problem went away. Hmmm. Finally I found the true answer here. On an HP forum, someone posted a way to fix it by changing a script in an HP post install directory. But WHY did that fix it? The 2nd thread I linked too had the link I needed: http://www.billoblog.com/?p=152 Between the original post and many updates in the comments, the purpose of this message was reveled - to make HP more money! It turns out that HP wanted to prevent third party repairs on systems. When a computer was manufactured, the recovery partition was configured with a ‘fingerprint' of the system's motherboard. If you replaced the motherboard and reinstalled windows - the fingerprint would not match and this error is generated. Even if you used an IDENTICAL motherboard. The problem was widespread. Calling HP generally resulted in them telling you to send the system back for repair, w

The question doesn't tell the whole story-does it? The answer is not necessarily correct either! I got the same Code Purple Error---but in a different context. Timeline---- 2008 HP Pavilion t3550uk Desktop PC( out of Warranty, bought 2006) behaving erratically --App. hangs--install/uninstall problems etc Repair shop says HD is defective, so I get new HD and OS installed from old one. OK---for a while---then the problems begin again. Much contact with HP Support, but no real cause / solution

When the computer would try to boot up to Windows an error message would appear stating that there was a configuration error and to contact the manufacturer. Then in paranthesis (Code Purple). I did a search for Code Purple on the internet and got a number of hits, but only one seemed to have any suggestions for a solution. This is what I found out and this is what I did (Some of these I copied and pasted from this blog - but just changed them to indicate specifically what I did I don't want to take credit for their great suggestions - the blog is at: http://www.billoblog.com/billoblog/?p=152#comments ) Code Purple indicates that there was a booby trap placed in HP and Compaq computers in which a tattoo or numerical signature of the motherboard and hardware configuration is created at the factory and encoded into the restore disks on a particular computer. When you re-install your system, it checks to make sure the system h I removed the hard drive from my Pavilion and put it in the other system. I then looked for the file that was doing the anti-piracy check. I found it at: I removed the hard drive from their Pavilion and put it in the other system. The writer of the blog had found the file that was doing the anti-piracy check at: C:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\cfgchk.bat The cfgchk.bat file contains the following: c:\hp\bin\hpdmi r > dmiout.txt python c:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\run.py del dmiout.txt cd .. rd /s /q c:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck The invocation of run.py is the actual check. The way the anti-piracy mechanism seems to work is to loop in the check if the comparison between the motherboard BIOS string (returned by hpdmi.exe) and the expected value fails. By looping in the error message, the check effectively puts the brakes on Syscheck, so the final configuration of XP never completes and you dont get to a functional Windows desktop. Since the loop is in run.py, you can bypass the problem by just removing the invocation of the Python script. In other words, delete the line python c:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\run.py For the writer of this thread this worked and he was able to reboot. However for me, I ran into some complications. When I reinserted the hard drive to the original computer, it pulled up to Windows after a very long time configuring. When it got into Windows there was a
