Software / HELP: 2nd hand PC winxp woes :S

« on: January 24, 2006, 09:12:09 AM »

I have tried the:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;EN-US;328874

article on changing the "Volume License Product Key" via reseting the activation, etc. But it doesn't work. The PC is a dell PC and there's a sticker of the authentic Windows cd key on it. However I believe this cd key is for the OEM version of windows xp. If so, is it possible using this oem cd key for this windows xp corp? Coz I tried entering it in via the above method and it just keeps on saying invalid key.

Or maybe the key is for original windows? Does it make a difference whether my current windows is SP2?

I just realised that my 2nd hand PC Windows XP version is of type XP Corp. I heard this was a copied variant of Windows XP Pro. I don't like this. Is it possible to change this type of Windows (XP Corp), into normal Windows XP Retail, or OEM versions? It must be stored as a flag or something in registry right?

Software / unicode DVD burn software comparison

« on: January 10, 2006, 04:43:33 AM »

Can you guys (TheTechGuide) made a comparision chart or review on unicode DVD burn software please. I find that there are so many burn software out there, however hardly any support unicode - able to write the world-wide character set (chinese, japanese, etc.) It would be really nice if someone wrote a comparision or review on unicode DVD burn software.

Cheers guys. Keep up the good work!
