Windows Xp SP2 Activation prob.

[S!X]

I phoned MS, and after like 20 min of waiting, they told me there was nothing they could do. Bastards told me to get another copy. So what could i have done? downloaded a 600+mb win xp in like 3 hours.

Same thing happend to me lol, fecking bastard couldnt even speak english.

i just cant believe after like 4-5 yesrs there still is no way to use it liek a crack or something. Its like the most pirated thing so you would think by now it woul dbe cracked or people are just lazy and use the corp.

Ok, I've solved the 'login' proble,
all I did was put the disc that I had from the earlier vertion of Windows XP,
then, instead of doin a re-instal, I cliked on "Repair", and everything was fixed,
now I can log in without problems.
the only thing is that the PC now does strange things,
sometimes it restars with no warning, and I just can't install the audio codecs
and stuff like that...
so I "found" the Xp SP2 Corporate Vertion (a 700MB Disc), but there is no place
in the setup text files or description files, that says its a Corporate Vertion.
Is this vertion installed just as the 'normal' vertion?
will I need at least the install serial?
will this vertion be able to get updates?

Even with the corp version you need a serial number, you just don't have to activate it.

You should be able to get updates, just deactivate the genuine advantage add-on.

lol obviously, but that's the point of corp version...no activation required

lol did the guy sound indian?

desi ppl are good at english, better than asians at least but they got this horrible yet hilarious accent-especially when they get mad

doesnt that belong in the "brown people!" thread? oh and btw agreed i had to wait on the phone w/ an indian-accented guy on customer service the other day, dear god what a pain in the ass it was to understand him.

There are all kinds of "methods" around XP's activation process available. The problem is that they cannot be discussed here at FST for one thing. Secondly, they all involve you being logged in and assumed that you did not procrastinate during the trial period.

There most likely is a "way" around your problem. However, you will not find it here.

just use a keygen with your existing copy of XP Pro

Thanks for the sugestion man,
I considered that but got confused, so what I did was run my Old XP vertion Install, but choose the 'Repair' option, and now I can log in,
the system has a lot of errors or glitches, but at leas I can backup my stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean,
in fact, I was afraid of that point of view since the begining.
