Trying to find the file wpa.bak in system32 but it is not there and also did a search for it and not to be found...Where could it be?
kspeel--Is it missing or hidden? It should be in your Windows\System32 folder along with wpa.dbl. See here

If you do not know how to unhide files, post back.
in folders click on properties and and if the hidden files tab is unchecked than you can see the hidden files ...Correct?
I have hidden and system files unchecked.
Uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" as well.
Where do i find that...Been working with windows like since I been born..Well make that dos 5.0 but feel kinda stupid askin that
In Folder Options:

is this in control panel?
kspeel--There are two arrows in SuperSparks' graphic. They are in the same Windows Tools|Folder Options|View window. The line for the top one needs to be checked. The bottom one, not checked. Do not forget to click the Apply|OK buttons if you make any changes.
Open My computer, go to Tools in the Menu and select folder options.
Select the View tab.
Now needs to be made to match SuperSparks'. May have to scroll down just a tad, but they are there.
nope still not there
Can you post a screenshot of what you do have, please?
kspeel--FWIW--You may want to read this article.

Note it says "You may have a wpa.bak file on your system if not, do not worry too much it is a backup of the original file"
Do you have a specific problem which you hope to solve by finding it?
I def have the same thing that the above says to do...looked on puter today at work and that file was missing...as you might figure trying to install xp on daughters puter and have to activate it and tryin to get around it
Simply copy "C:\Windows\System32\wpa.dbl" to "C:\Windows\System32\wpa.bak"Quote:
