funny thing was i was wondering why it didn't work for me you know why??
when I installed SP2 with teh last update XP the idiots disabled active XI had to go to internet options to enable it Microsoft disabling their own use of updating their software

activeX is fine as long as you know what your are doing. I find it a bit reassuring that microsoft blocks their own installer, seeing as how it is activeX. Most people know to only install activeX from sites they know to be trustworthy. I dont need a browser to tell me that.
the internet is full of risks, none of which are life threatening.

I disagree.Most people know to only install activeX from sites they know to be trustworthy. I dont need a browser to tell me that.
Most people just click "yes" or "accept" or "next" whenever something popsup (or in installers) which is why so many non-computer-experts get spyware on their computers.
Like if my sister's using the computer and one of the accept/decline active x installer's popsup she'll just click accept...then her comp has spyware.
So i installed firefox.

i see your point. Thats why MS made SP2. In hindsight, I know people that do the same thing....shame on them.I disagree.

are you using a pirated version of windows ?here's what I get:
My pirated copy came with a VLK ( what ever this means ) Cd key....
Exact file name
"Windows XP Professional SP2 Intergrated Xtras repack ISO"
BTW , if i check out the windows "how to tell" and it sees my OS isnt legal will it do anything to it ? and try to find a way to crack me down

nothing will happen, cuz i did it several times just for fun, and I am still running a pirated copy, altho i do have a legit copy, im just too lazy to reinstall it at the moment, cuz the key for my legit copy wont work with my current install.
