if it was bootlegged xp home, i dont even want to know what microsoft will do...home edition just plain stinks if its bootlegged!

 

[maroon1]

if i have illigal copy how can i update my windows, my computer can't valditate

 

[talldude123]

theres an easier way to get bootlegged stuff...its called FILE SHARING!!! i just got photoshop cs2 from limewire in an hour!

 

[talldude123]

you only need to validate stuff under windows xp home edition

windows xp pro doesnt validate stuff

I think my xp is bootleg cuz I got it from a friend of a friend and its on a recordable cd. It still lets me get updates although I don't usually use updates

 

[baronvongogo]

xp pro still downloads critial updates even if its a illigal copy. If you need the .net framework 1.1 or media player 10 then you need a validation to update them. There was a way with java script but its since been blocked although there is another way if you look around im not willing to mention it on here

 

[TheMajor]

Nah, I can install Media Player just fine. Only service packs cause trouble.
