wpa.dbl is located in your %systemroot%\system32 folder. This is the Windows Product Activation file, and it can be backed up (it's also automatically backed up by Windows XP) and re-used if you ever re-install Windows XP.

There is of course limitations to its use. This file can only be used on the same system and only if there have not been a significant amount of hardware changes to the system.

If the above is true, you can copy the file to avoid re-activating your system, although, you're allowed unlimited activations on the same system with the same hardware.

Open My Network Places. In the left pane, click on View Network Connections. Right click on Internet Connection or Local Area Connection. In the context menu, choose properties. Click on the advanced tab. Put a checkmark in the box and click ok. To customize settings, click the settings button at the bottom.

This behavior may occur if a damaged program file (for example, an ActiveX or Java object) is downloaded to the SystemRoot\Downloaded Program Files folder on your hard disk.

To troubleshoot and resolve this behavior, empty the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder, and then delete the files in the Downloaded Program Files folder that are listed as either Unknown or Damaged. To do so:

1. Start Internet Explorer (if it is not already started).
2. Empty the contents of the Temporary Internet Files folder. To do so:
   1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
   2. Click the General tab.
   3. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files.
   4. When you are prompted to delete all temporary Internet files, click OK.
3. In the Downloaded Program Files folder on your hard disk, remove the files that are listed as either Unknown or Damaged. To do so:
   1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
   2. Click the General tab.
   3. Under Temporary Internet files, click Settings.
   4. Click View Objects.
      
      The list of program files that are downloaded to the SystemRoot\Downloaded Program Files folder on your hard disk appears in the Downloaded Program Files window.
   5. In the Status column, note the files that are listed as either Unknown or Damaged. Remove these files. To do so, right-click the file, and then click Remove.
   6. When you are prompted to confirm the removal, click Yes.
   7. Close the Downloaded Program Files window, and then click OK two times.
4. Save an image in Internet Explorer to test and determine if the issue is resolved.
   
   If the issue continues to occur after you remove all downloaded program files that are listed as Unknown or Damaged, try removing the other downloaded program files that are on the list.
   
   Note: The next time that you need one of the files that you removed from the Downloaded Program Files folder, you will receive a prompt to download the file to your hard disk in Internet Explorer.
