getting back to pirated winxp,only having sp1 ,thats only if the person doesn't know how to slipstream sp2 into it .like i said before there is a copy of the original devils own with sp2[from the it profrosional link on micrsoft site ] slipstreamed into it with a key that passes a genuine and will do windows update ,either on automatic or direct from the windows update link in IE.

you cant get IE7 or WMP11 though

oh yes you can !done it ,but I'm whispering that so no ones hears ,lol
experiment purpose's only of course

IE7 is open for downloads, been like that for about 3 weeks now
WMP11... who needs this crap anyhow?

When you run the IE7 installer, you have to do WGA

nope, I've done it last week

JB is correct, WMP V11 and IE 7 run the genuine advanget pak when you try to install those software. there is no way around that, unless you are running a hacked copy.

isn't that what we are taking about ,anyway for experimental purpose's only right now im loading a computer with a ghost image of xp pro ,cracked version ,and will do all updates,including ie7 and wmp 11 and let you all know how it goes .

ok,update ,im finished installed the xp pro "devils own "with sp2 slipstreamed into it ,with and active winxp key already in it also ,no activation required ,that passed everything on winxp update site ,and install 44 updates ,including ie7 and then i went into wmp 10 and updated it to version 11 ,then back to windows update for 3 more wmp security updates ,so i guess its all possible with the right pirated winxp cd

Right then I am also gonna try to do it on my old laptop but not sure if the configuration will let me but i ll definitely give it a go and see how far i get to. I think the guy i was helping out in installing xp earlier did use the dodgy fckgw cd key...i ll use the same to install on that laptop and try to get the sp2 from the site and see how it goes. I have never done this before but what do you guys suggest i need to be wary of as that laptop is really quite old and doesnt really have any value to me i ve kept it to do experiments onto it.

I think its 256mb ram with Pentium 3, 1ghz cpu with about either 6gb or 30 gb hdd. Its a very old toshiba satellite even without the touchpad, just a dot in the middle of keys to use as navigational joystick.
