Windows XP Hack

[swift240]

5. Install WindowsXP as usual. Your XP Home Key will work.
Note: You cannot apply SP2 to the hacked WindowsXP Pro.

Well if you cant do the above then what is the point?
SP2 is needed compared to not needing it.
Windows XP Home Edition or Pro are better of with SP2.  Dont you think.

Well I have used Home Edition and Pro at other times, never had a problem with either.

Ahhhh I get it, well I am ok then I have a valid licence key.
So thats why SP2 dont cause any grief.

OR is it something to with a particular kind of mother board and BIOS?

I have tried XP on 4 types of mother board and with SP2 still never had a problem.  The one mobo was I think 3 years old BIOS never upgraded.  And still never had a problem.
It may be one of those things.......
I realy dont know........  The only problem I ever did have and that was with Win2000 pro, every other time I done a reboot the mouse would stick and never ever move again until I done another reboot.  And that was with an MSI mobo 645 V1.0
As a matter of interest any one else had that problem with Win2000?
