Service Pack 1 compares the Windows XP product ID on the system to this list. The comparison and the list reside locally on the users PC and no information is sent to Microsoft as part of this process. Service Pack 1 for Windows XP will fail to install on installations of Windows with one of the following product IDs: XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX and XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX


How to change your Product ID in Windows XP
If the product ID matches the invalid keys above, you may need to change the key (re-enter a valid key) in order to install Windows XP service pack 1, and to make sure your environment is legal. The XP CD Key changer program allows you to change your key on an already installed system. download (http://www.mike-devlin.com/downloads/downloads_home.htm) the program (zipped), unzip it to a convenient folder. Go to that folder and double-click the program icon (labelled: update_xp_cd_key) to start it. You will be prompted to enter info. Follow the instructions, ignoring the the part about entering the code from the phone call (the verification code confirming that you called Microsoft to obtain a new, paid key).

yer i did all that then i got to the part were it say "please select yes if u want to telephone bla bla bla...." then i pressed continue and it came up with

"msoobe.exe - entry point not found" "the procedure entry point WSANSPIoct&#33; could not be located in the dynamic library WS2_32.dll."

then it exits it

I happen to know that

Windows XP Pro serial key changer.exe
48925 Bytes
EDIT: hash removed as it doesn&#39;t seem to be working

works just fine.
Not that I ever would use something like that. ;)

[Cam_02]

i take it thats the hash for the programe and if so what do i do with that hash do i put it into sig2dat or another programe?

Not really. Thats what K-Sig spits out.

Better do a search for XP serial and pick the 47 kB one. Almost all supernodes list a dozen or more users with this file.

Just download the network installation version.

from? where

As previously said, sp1 won&#39;t install if certain keys have been used to install XP.

If you have a fast connection, download XP corporate, there&#39;s a pinned topic on it here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=26555).

Otherwise go to http://home.att.net/~nogoodpig/ for instructions on how to change the key used to install windows.

Do not try to activate Windows legitimately if you have a dodgy key. Use the xpfix files found on the linked page to activate XP. Don&#39;t worry that it says XP corporate, this&#39;ll work on all versions of XP.

If you do a search you&#39;ll find loads of threads exactly the same as this one. :rolleyes:
