PC is still running XP w/SP1 (updates have been turned off since I built it) and I want to upgrade it to SP2 plus all of the
security hotfixes (all 10,000 of them)
I have tried several of the WGA fixes and none worked for this build. I think they are all aimed at SP2.
Also tried the rockxp keychanger to no avail.
I even D/Led SP2 from Software Patch and unplugged from net, it still came up with bad key and would not complete..
I have backed up all drivers and will back up here settings and PST files.
Do NOT want to do a clean install on her system, not worth it.
I have a couple of the newer SP2 XP .iso’s that have been posted lately, the BillGays XP and a XP Lite
Should I just do a repair on here system with one these and enter the key for these? Then maybe one of the WGA’s would work.
Opinions and guidance appreciated.
most of the XP lites don't offer a repair install
ReplyDeleteif you have a full XP SP2 disk that would be the way to go
then crack it if need be
that being said
