Btw i have pirated copy of xp.I think thats what the problems is.Will the network install work fine?
It really depends on what pirated version you have, a pirated OEM version shouldn't be a problem but a pirated Corporate edition well thats a different story I'd say probably not until someome comes up with a workaround that will allow it to install like was done for those pirated corporate copies when SP1 was released, but try it and see what happens and let us know how it goes, but definitely back up your important files first, your worst senario would be having to reinstall, and thats no big deal unless you haven't backed your files up.
I'm reporting this thread to the FBI so they can track your pirating ass and put you in prison.

Not sure if its a Corporate edition or not its xp pro and it came with sp1 slipstreamed into it.Am i really missing anything by not installing sp2 other than the fire security stuff?
There were different ways to create the corporate edition as well. There is a corpfiles.zip hack out there that will turn a pro version into a corp version and then I think there is also a couple different corporate isos out there as well.
My point being that it's possible that one of these might not work but I can say for certain that corpfiles.zip hacked versions do update to sp2 without a problem.
This was in another post. The IT version of SP2 is not to be installed into a fully updated XP install already containing the SP1 and all available patches.
It goes on to explain that the XP install could in fact fail.
As far as the SP2 service pack installing into a current XP install with SP1 from the Microsoft Update site you should have no problem. You have a boot-leg copy of XP so you have a boot-leg CD Key. You updated SP1 and patches prior to SP2 so it stands to reason you could install SP2 from the update site.
The only reason you might not be able to do so is your install of XP is corrupted........OR you have anti Virus or Software installed preventing the install.
If you are going to re-install XP as your version is fudged go buy XP your going to be using it for the next ten years so you might as well buy it legal. Hell go crazy and get a new system built that will come with it's own copy of XP, you might break out on top in costs.
Unless you are holding out for an Athlon64 and a new 64bit OS from MS. If you are going to reinstall your fudged version of XP the update site will simply provide you with a clean SP2 install no fuss no muss. Unless of course you stole your buddy's CD-KEY and he updated to XP/SP2 a week before you did and he keeps validating his KEY with MS.

Not exactly correct ... both DH and I have done just that ... as have thousands of others (read the different forums - I do). Seems some have issues, others don't. But you can't make a blanket statement like that ... because I'm the proof you're wrong ...
<b> ...more people are driven insane through religious hysteria than by drinking alcohol - W.C. Fields </b>
I installed the IT version the day it was released. There was no need on my part to tell others to do it simply because I had.
I did not make a blanket statement at all Jake, what your grade 8 education failed to read or comprehend again was that Microsoft made that statement and they still have it posted as a warning to XP home users.
If you feel you must try to impress everyone with the fact that you installed the IT version all by your little self perhaps you would be so intelligent as to explain all the extra networking provided in the SP2 pack so the rest of us could learn from you.
Of course I have a PhD in computer science Jake so make sure you read all you can and copy paste everything you have no understanding of before you reply.

Not really I'm going to wait until I get the free SP2 CD from Microsoft before I actually upgrade my wifes machine, theres really no big hurry unless you need the firewall features, waiting gives Microsoft more time to resolve some of the issues arising that they new they would have to deal with anyway, those fixes will come through the Windows Update site, as critical updates.
With all this legal mumbo jumbo arising about copyright infringement, you might ought to at least consider getting yourself a legal copy of WinXp Pro OEM version you can get it pretty reasonable <A HREF="http://www.directdeals.com/item_OEM-WINXPPD.aspx" target="_new">here</A> without buying hardware to get it. Thats just a suggestion.
SOD you're really making a lot of friends here, were going to have to call you Mr Congeniality, with your sympathetic ways and understanding and compassion you show others here.
If you'll give me your mailing address I've got a gift to send you, its kinda heavy so I'll need to send it to you by UPS, I hope they deliver in your area, now when you get it rub a tube of it on your head each night before you go to bed.
I'm sending you a years supply of Preparation H, maybe in a year it'll shrink your head down so you won't be such an ass, I figure Preparation H will work just fine for you, since we can't tell one end of you from the other!
No man ... I guess my little ole MBA is insignificant compared to your phd ... but that's a canadian phd - so it's discounted somewhat. Ok, I'll call you dr sod ... you just call me Master ...

Based on your knowledge of their works, evaluate the emotional stability, degree of adjustment, and repressed frustrations of each of the following: Alexander of Aphrodisias, Rameses II, Gregory of Nicia, Hammurabi. Support your evaluation with quotations from each man's work, making appropriate references. It is not necessary to translate.
A lot of installation issues are caused by use of blacklisted keys. phial found a workaround by finding a clean key.

Again you sidestep a perfectly good question and totally disregard the FACT that MS posted the info.
Jake your a moron this will be the last post I ever reply to you. That goes for the rest of the clowns on this board that were born in trailer parks and never finished anything accept a bag of potato chips.
Others in here with a brain in their head such as Eden RCPilot a couple of others including Scamy will be the only ones I reply to. The rest of you are the [-peep-] I would rub off my boot.
I perhaps will talk to PhuckFace as he is a soldier and deserves some respect for that alone.
The rest of you are trailer park trash with nothing better to do then argue with your teachers and that's why you never graduated.
By the way Jake the Canadian school system is rated much higher then the U.S system world wide an our qualifications are double the quality of your college systems.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.........that is if you can clean the hash resin out of it first.

This is a very good development. If we now can convince Eden, RCPilot, and other self proclaimed "buddies" of SoD to have enlightened dialogs with SoD elsewhere that would mean major stress relief (for many of us, including SoD).
I think THG should honor SoD's intelligence by creating a separate forum, just for him, and everyone that SoD approves of, can go there and enrich their lives. Access control will be in his hands. As an appreciative gesture SoD will have to promise to leave THG other to the barbarians. I know I'm selfish, maybe we should ask for all other THG forums to be SoDFree.

At least I will not be seeing any more retarded reply posts on this, or did I misinterpret the oracle's words (again)?

I never take insult!! Democracy remember freedom of speech, its not my fault in any way that a few of Trailer Park Boys got into THG. If Canadians had any one problem with the U.S it is not the President, it is that half the smaller state areas live in the stone age.
Who said anything about friends ? If something is right say it is, if something is wrong point it out. It's the lame minded fucckers that get into THG that take personal offence to everything they don't understand.
The constant name calling and trivial replies from them only lowers my opinions of them and the IQ level they have.
Makes no difference to me at all and in person they would not dare to back talk me like they do online. That in it's self is enough
Big bad Americans LOL only their elite Military is well trained the rest are button pushers or APC drivers. Canadian soldiers are better trained man for man carry better personnel equipment right down to the digitally enhanced combat clothing that makes them almost invisible at night even to heat detection and communication devices another thing we excel at where the U.S does not. Besides we design and manufacture most of the electronic devices the U.S uses anyways so..........Tanks don't roll and planes don't fly without us little Canadians making them function.
Their general population is over weight and over fed, they have a self inflated respect for themselves that would not last a day outside of the burger joints or Malls they live in They lose combat simulations every damn year for the last 40 years up north and they cant cope with cold or heat...................As a whole they are the fattest slowest race of people left on the planet.
I still love each and every one of them but come on, any other country in the world has hardships a thousand fold harder then the U.S and all their people either die or live strong.
There that should stir the pot nicly the fact that it is all true should really make their cornflakes yellow.

Now I have to admit that is funny, you posted your pictures in the album remember, you look more like a Gomer that some kind of physical threat! ROFLMAO
Thats Rich!!!
One other thing SOD, men that are truly bad asses, don't have to try and convince others that they are, your insecurities and bragging prove to me, you ain't nothing but a scared little boy inside, trying to keep the bad guys away.
OOh! I'm scared now!!! if that makes you feel better ROFL

Mac lets just ship SOD to his own little island somewhere, someplace where they may be considering a nuclear weapon test, because I like RC and Eden and I don't want them excluded because of SOD. And even if they actually do like him, sooner or later he'll get around to insulting them, just like everyone else. Remember we all have Grade 8 intelligences compared to SOD!

I did not mean to imply that Eden and RC should be confined to that paradise called SoDHeaven, I think that prerogative should be for SoD only, and not because I want to limit his right of free speech, I think SoD deserves his own forum where he will not be bothered by the likes of us 8 grader lowlives
Why is it that I suddenly get a vision of the ruler of Heck? <pre>Try reading up on some Dilberts if you have no idea what I'm talking about.</pre><p>
