Help, Computer Geeks/Goons Needed XP hack
 

Hey my buddy has a copy of Windows XP Pro, with no service packs installed because he has a pirated copy.. oh my gosh! So I thought we could just format C:\ (my fav) however he has mass porn programs installed/applications and does not have the install disks for them. So I need to upgrade his copy of xp to SP2. I downloaded the SP2 file, but it will not run because microsoft says "NO/INVALID BITCH"

Any advice would be appricated, (is it possible to install xp over again with a valid cd and retain all his apps?)

Thanks,
Jeff

You can stop the OOBE timer and change the password to a new one that works. You know how to do that?

How can I change the volume licensing product key on a Windows XP SP1-Based Computer?

Because of changes in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows XP-based computers that use a leaked product key that is known to be available to the general public may not be able to install SP1 or automatically obtain updates from the Windows Update Web site. For an easy and quick method of obtaining your own CD Key please read Quickly Retrieve Windows CD Key.

For example, you may experience the symptoms that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article when you install SP1:

326904 Error Message: The Product Key Used to Install Windows Is Invalid

There are two (legal) methods that you can use to change the product key with volume licensing media after installation. You can use either the Windows Activation Wizard graphical user interface (GUI) or a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) script.

The easier method to use is the Use the Activation Wizard method. Use this method when you only have a few computers on which to change the product key. The Use a Script method is best when you have a number of computers on which you have to change the product key.

Legal Note: Make sure you understand that this method is indeed legal. This is NO crack, NO hack, there is nothing illegal with this article. I will not, however, encourage any reader to use an illegally obtained CD Key. What you do in your own house/office is your own business, and I cannot and will not be held responsible for your actions.

Method #1: Use the Activation Wizard
If you have only a few volume licensing product keys to change, you can use the Activation Wizard.

This document contains instructions for editing the registry. If you make any error while editing the registry, you can potentially cause Windows to fail or be unable to boot, requiring you to reinstall Windows. Edit the registry at your own risk. Always back up the registry before making any changes. If you do not feel comfortable editing the registry, do not attempt these instructions. Instead, seek the help of a trained computer specialist.

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type Regedit, and then click OK.

In the left pane, locate and then click the following registry key:

In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.

Change at least one digit of this value to deactivate Windows.

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK.

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows, and then click Next.

Click Change Product key.

Type the new product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update. If you are returned to the previous window, click Remind me later, and then restart the computer.

Repeat steps 6 and 7 to verify that Windows is activated. You receive the following message:

Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.

Click OK.

Install SP1 for Windows XP.

If you cannot restart Windows after you install SP1, press F8 when you restart the computer, select Last Known Good Configuration, and then repeat this procedure.

when you restart windows you'll have to reactivate it. but its a just like a fresh install and he will have all of his files. just call windows if they have a problem. block your number. tell them you got spyware and had to reset the registry (they're indian as hell and dont care. you cant even understand them) then they'll give you your activation number.

all of the above is un-necessary. i have a pirated copy of xp pro. all i did was down load a program, ran it. and it let me get all updates from windowsupdate.com i might still have it in my inbox.

if you have a valid key, i have an exe that will allow you to change your key easily. Or you can do a search for it...it's called ROCKXP3. It's a nice little exe. I can email it to you or anyone for that matter.
LMK.
