Thread: windows xp service pack 2

I had the very same problem and the only solution is to call bill, SORRY. The "new" geuine advantage is a real PITA. My solution after a new install get windoos active and use ghost or a backup of your choice and made a mirror copy. That way you can use it instead of your OEM disk and skip the active process.

thx in advance

This is not a warez board or a place for illegal activity. Please don't get this type of discussion started.


I also agree that windows activation is a horrible pain. Mp3car is happy to host discussions of legal ways around this hassle. Sharing keys in a public forum is not one of them.

As a side note, i have found the windows activation phone team rather cooperative if you are patient, respectful and persistent.

Depending on the hardware changes you will most likely be required to re-activate. My guess based on experience is this method would work a very small percentage of the time.

I agree completely.
