Nice Subject Change!

Cheers for the replies. Aaron: I've actually got to the state of windows not letting me in, i.e. I can only log onto the net by clicking on a link to the microsoft help website, so I can't run any programs.

 

Tell it to me straight, I'm fucked aren't I ?

oh sorry i thought u had access to here aswell and so you could download it... Yeah i would say you are a bit shafted, try and back up your files, reinstall Windows XP and then use the utility i posted..... God I'm gonna get sued!

there is a patch you can run!

 

Which allows you to hide the state of the OS, so windows thinks it is a legitimate os.

 

I had this, but i dont have it anymore!

 

If you can get it, i think its called reset 5 . You have to run it in safe mode, and run the patch, then restart, and it should run fine.

 

I had to reset every few days. It did piss me off, as you cant download updates with it either though!

Just found out I can open any file on my comp in the 'file' bit on IE, so I'm d/l Kazaa (I took it off b4 cause of the extra shit it installs) and I'm gonna have a look for one of them programs. I'll be fucking impressed if I can get it to work !!

 

If not, I think I'll be back to using ME

and it should download my patch (well it did on my ie!! )

I actually just dowloaded that from Kazaa. What do you do with it, cause it just comes up with a dos type box with a few keys in it ?

 

(appreciate your help by the way, soz for being so stupid !!)

it should give you a list of product keys, and then gives you the instructions you need to change your serial number, its quite straight forward, you dont have to write down the keys it gives you as it opens the serial change bit in another window...

 

No worries on the help bit

What he said.

 

I've actually got it on my harddrive if you want it.

 

I bought a copy of XP home for my old pc but when I got my new pc couldn't put it on there due to gay activation thingy so downloaded XP pro with a dodgy serial. This mean that you couldn't get the service packs so you have to change the serial number and hey presto it's all go.

some serials work with SP1. like mine. but I'm keeping mine secret otherwise i'll be fucked. sorry.
