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.
