I am looking for a permanent crack for xp/sp3. I downloaded the torrent "xp activation" and it was fine. But I had to install xp on a machine that I just built. I had the "xp activation" file saved on another machine, so I copied it to the new machine, but it won't activate xp. I get a message, when I run the MGADiag tool included in the file, "Validation Control not installed". I tried several times to run the process, but it always comes back to that msg. Is there another crack that works? Help me out guys. |

Now you're probably going to get mad at me for even saying this.
But you really should just take this opportunity to upgrade to 7.
It's a whole different animal. |

Not on this machine! I am going to Win 7 when I upgrade my primaries on my network. This is one I am selling for cheap. |

Seconded. Its much better than XP and a damn sight better than Vista.
Faster, better layout, interesting themes and gadgets and already has fantastic support.
EDIT
Sorry didnt see your second post. |

Listen, I never thought I could be more disappointed in MS OS's as much as I was with '98,...until vista. That IS the worse bunch of S#@t I have ever tried to work with,..or around,...or at,..or WTF ever! I've read a bunch about 7. I tried the Beta, and it scared the S*&t outta me because it booted up like vista! But, so far, there are some very good reviews. I just want to do a total h/w upgrade before I get it. I'm lookin' forward to it, really. |

If you must stick with an older os on an older machine xp is certainly the way to go. I did finally get vista running well, but only after a service pack and upgrading to 4 gigs of ram. So I understand your hesitation.
that said, I need to make clear
this is not a crack site.
so I'm afraid I'm going to have to lock this down now.
The only advice I can give you in the interim is be safe, read comments, and scan downloads for viruses. |
