hmm...that's odd
Service Pack 2 isn't suppose to care about wat kind of keys u use anymore

have u ever installed Service Pack 1 prior to this service pack?
my guess is that this error msg is triggered by that bcos Service Pack 2 also includes everything from Service Pack 1

I don&#39;t think it&#39;s so odd. I think he is using the original blacklisted CD key. He must be using it without SP1.

@ulyssesdraco, if you change your key then you can update your Windows.

i just read the "reasons for getting sp2" here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...ain/sp2top.mspx

and it&#39;s not that useful. i don&#39;t have wireless, and i use myie2, so popups are not a prob. wat other reasons should i get this for?

like wat?

[abu_has_the_power]

so far, sp2 is only good if ur a noob old man who just wants ease of use. windows firewall sucks monkey balls. and no one uses ie anymore. and all these security features limit my assesiblity more than it does for the "hackers". and i don&#39;t use bluetooth or wireless. so do i need this update?

Hey abu, if you don&#39;t want the thing then you have to have it.
