[I have talked to a lot of people on the internet trying to update a pirated XP. and they cant do it through the MS update page ] russo
russo, talk about dig your own grave! I have installed cracked copies of xp pro and corp on over 40 pc's, most with there own unique key, they ALL update at microsoft with no problems what so ever! where do you get information? you are yet another to fall into microsofts trap of bluffing its way through the "impossible to crack" xp saga, the version of xp that wont update with sp1 is the now infamous "devils own" corp. the key (pardon the pun) to getting over the wpa hurdle is simple, xpkey by the bluelist and keychange, both nifty bits of software, if you want a tutorial on how i do it go HERE coz i explained it way back. and its even easier now with a few different cracks out there ;)
Ok fine. as i said i have not tried to update pirated versions of XP. i read the NFO of the OS on sharereactor and people on other message boards.Quote:

The NFO i read stated you could not go directly to the MS page and directly download the service packs , in fact it warned against doing any windows updates such are messenger etc.. because MS is finding your illegal serial that way also. and that you have to do it through downloading the full service packs that are not hosted by microsoft. or by jumping through some other hoops as posted here Update XP
I never stated you could not update a pirated copy of XP home. i said (or implied)you could not do it by directly going straight to the MS update page and clicking update, which seems to be what you are saying you can do.
so the point i made was you might as well get Pro Corp.
And if this page HEREis supposed to prove your point.
"boyzeee"
"scenario 2.......... with win xp pro, home its a little easier, do same thing as above, install with key provided dont activate, run keygen, click activation and do it over the net, click "no i do not want to register with microsoft at this time" then you dont have to give any information and its anon, try and activate then when it says invaid key etc etc click the "change product key" button and put in one of the keys you have generated and try activating, keep on trying til you get one that works, i have been told it is better to shut down and restart and then try activating after each key change but ive never bothered. you can do all this over the phone, same thing as above but its just longer to do. there is a program called keychange that will do all the work for you to.
corp doesnt need activating but make your own key, dont use the ones on the net coz microsoft will shut you down when you install sp1.
i think ive covered it all...class dismissed"
"boyzeee"
as i said before it takes a little time but i have on a few occasions been lucky and the first key ive put in activates, but saying that it took about 20 different keys to activate office on my nephews pc, and thats why i said a minimal install (it only 40mb needed with office to activate) as its quick to install and uninstall. it not at all complicated if you really read it, just click a few buttons. ive seen people give advice about tweaking the registry and other nonsense, its just not needed. i am looking right now for a program that lets you change the office key without uninstalling it as ive heard there is a prog out there somewhere that will do it, i will post it as soon as ive got it "
Correct me if im wrong. you (boyzeee) are referring to installing a pirated version of XP, not updating it by going directly to the MS update page and clicking update.
I don't know what Boyzee is referring to.Quote:

I, on the other hand, am saying that yes you can, and yes, I regularly do, go directly to MS update, have them scan me for updates and then download directly from them.
This worked for SP1 and all subsequent critical updates.
My copy of XP Pro was installed using the exact method detailed by Balamm.
I don't know where you're going with this anymore. Your waffling could feed a starving nation.
I use a pirated VLK. Yes I do! No keygen, No key changer.
I've showed you how to set reg = done in the OOBE timer and WPA. Again, I use my pirated and blacklisted VLK. I just type it back in, same as I installed it. Or, copy the product ID from a previously authorized install. Then I install an early service pack 1 (downloaded from MS) .
After reboot, I now have a fully legal installation of XP, pro, corp, whatever you want to call it. Window update works fine.
Any way you look at it, all reg tips and software required to make this an authorized, legal install, were supplied by MS.
There's no cracking or unauthorized cheats involved.
Maybe, just maybe, I'm taking advantage of a bug in their software and activation or licensing process. I don't know, but it was given to me by MS so who am I to argue?
Oh, I forgot to mention that I also recieve MS support for my now legal instal. You know those send error report messages you sometimes get when an application misbehaves? I get a tracking number immediately and a web link or phone number to use in the tracking process. In most cases, I get an email back within the hour which either provides the direct or indirect cause of the error, or a link to persue the problem with the software or hardware maker.
Where have i waffled?, show me my inconsistencies.Quote:

Russo, this is your first post in this thread...
Since then, you've claimed that "you read" or "people have told you", etc., etc. why it's NOT possible to use Windows Update with a pirated copy of XP.Quote:
If its XP home , you wont be able to install it on another PC anyway
Admit it, you were wrong.
So i guess what your saying is. that you do have to do some hoop jumping to get a pirated copy of XP updated... thanks for clarifying that balamm ;)Quote:

Yeah, that 30-40 seconds it took to do the registry tweak almost convinced me to go down to Staples and spend $250 for the real thing...
True, but if you read all the posts in context (since i usually give short responses to every topic) you can see what the point was. most people dont give long dissertations to a topicQuote:

Admit it, you were wrong.
you can see my point was , the reason you "cant install home" on two PCs was because of the updating problems and reg fixes etc.. that most of you people are admitting you had to do to get a legit update
So why not just get Pro Corp

Where do you people get your info from. how do you think Microsoft determines if your Key lines up with your MAC address and hardware IDs. when you go to the update page MS reads your ID and determines if its registered yet. if its not registered you dont get your updates.
Why do you think the Service Packs are available as seperate releases underground on P2P netwroks. because thats the ONLY way to update a XP machine that is not registered by MS
You need to do some more research

I have been following this thread from it's inception and have read all the responses in context.
Had you merely said "get Corp and bypass the problems " from the get go, we wouldn't be having this little chat.
But, of course, you didn't.
Your Mr. Bojangles act is very good.
interesting...
:blink: MS themselves suggest this to people having problems with windows update. It's not some elite hacker trick, it's just as valid as any hotfix MS has ever released. Some people have taken it a step further and scripted it into a batch file but the fix is still authored by MS. :blink:Quote:

There are NO problems installing and updating. Period!
Home, Pro, Corp, it works for all just the same.
I must say my friend, just how much i enjoy reading your posts. Whether intentionally or not, they nearly always make me laugh.Quote:

As i said i got all my info form other people/boards/websites. you never once heard me i say i know these things from personal experiences.
And clearly the few people i have been talking to here are saying installing and updating Home is versy easy.
And if, from your downloading of "legit" updates, your serial gets banned. will you admit it in these forums

But only if it actually happens to me, not something I read about on "other forums" or hear from informed sources.
Ok. This was the general idea i had from reading NFOs of SP1 & SP2 and talking to other people who claim to have "personal experiences".
That you could install XP Pro Corp and update it untill you turn blue because there was no serial that could be recognized (either initially or eventually) that was banned.
But with XP Home. if you tried to update a banned serial it would cut off have way in the download. and if it was not YET banned, that eventually by updating certain windows components, messenger, outlook etc.., they would find out you have a bogus number and bann it.
I know they can read your number everytime you update. but with Pro Corp i assume there is no number to read.
OK , end of argument :x. i will take into consideration what people with personal experience claim.
No, there is still a number. The activation process is disabled though. If you have a "bad" VLK, you will still need to do the steps to change the "product key" before it will allow updates.Quote:
