just get xp pro black edition , it has sp3 plus updates already on and dosent need a key or activation.
UPTO SP3 - yes. However, some recent updates have been breaking the WGA hack. Or, get that version of XP - BUT ONLY THAT as there's some floating around FULL of spyware
What's that? I've just installed "Black Edition" and it's just normal XP SP3! Is there anything else you need to do to get it working? Fuming
You need to do a fresh install when you do black edition and not overwrite the previous version of windows. Did you format first?
It basically turns your dodgy windows into a licensed version so you can download the service packs and silverlight etc.
It's alright cheers jimmy, already got a cracked Windows. I'm fuming now. Just downloaded a different "Windows Black" which is also meant to be supposedly legit, yet it looks something akin to Windows 98.
I had to activate the theme from a file that was hidden away. Look how pretty and shiney my Windows XP is! Thank you Fiddla.
