\' /> Alright, I borrowed Win XP froma friend, original version. I installed and found I have to crack it with in 30 days, 26 days as of this writing. My tech-expert sent me this file called, winxp_crk. And gave me instructions to crack the activation thing.
I found out in the readme, that i have to uninstall the SP1 patch if I have it(?). Though he says I don't have to uninstall it. now, can someone please explain to me how I can sucesfully get the activation thingy off my butt?[/quote]
Well, I tell ya how to get a perfect VALID INSTALL of XP- That can be validated.
First, check your install disk. Is it HOME? Throw it Away. Is It PRO? Check to see if it is a VLK version.
Is it MCE? Then find other people with the exact versions and upend their boxes and COPY their Product ID codes.
Basically we want the VLK version, it can be found at the Torrent Sites. Always READ what people SAY about the torrent else you get a fakeypoop Planted-By-MS piece of PooPoo.
Search for AntiWPA3 - It is all over the net so just check the Torrents. YOU WILL NOT NEED Antiwpa3 for Windows XP Volume License Key editions: But you WILL need it for any version of Media Center.
Next, search for a VLK pack called WGA-XP. this pack is a ZIP file has these four files inside of it:
Volume in drive C is SYSTEM
Volume Serial Number is F097-7D6D
Directory of C:\Download\WGAFix-XP
06/05/2007 08:53 AM <DIR> .
06/05/2007 08:53 AM <DIR> ..

Fiest you use the KEYGEN to generate a valid, new, VLK key. I will nto get into how to use the Keygen, there are settings that will produce keys for several XP versions. You want to use the setting for XP Pro Corporate.
Make about 5 to 10 Keys and print them.
Insert your XP VLK Service Pack 2 install disk (NOT UPGRADE DISK!!!) Into your Drive of the target machine.
Install XP - Use one of your keys, you may get one or two bad keys PER YEAR. Just use another key if that happens... And if you cannot get a good key, then throw away your XP install disk, it is not VLK.
After XP is installed, attach the PC to the internet. Run the Windows Downdate and get the Validation control: And STOP right after you get it, do not reboot if prompted and DO NOT continue. Before you do anything else, run the program WGA-FIX.exe. Then, REBOOT, and restart Windows Update. Get the rest of the validation and BITS (Backg Intell Xfer Sevice) ONLY... Nothing else.
Now, run the program MGADIAG and kick yourself in the buttocks if it does not say GENUINE (Kick yer butt cos you probly used a non-VLK version. To find a VLK version, look for it at the torrent sites.
You can also use this with known GOOD Product ID keys for Media Center, but you must use the ANTIWPA3 program. I just looked, and I found it rigtht NOW with no problems, the same pack I have been using.. it is still there after a year.
Also, it is one thing to USE vista for just [censored]ing around. Just dont BUY it. Download it and Crack it, but fookin dont buy it, expecially at 400 bucks per Ultimate Edition, it aint worth it!
Beer GOOD Vista BAD.
(I had links to the Torrents but that bad, me take away)
