Thanks but no success yet. Oh well... I figured my sister's HP media center rig needed an OEM disk so I first tried Medic's DVD but my sister's key failed. Is it possible that Medic's DVD is retail rather than OEM? Next I tried crypto's 2 CDs realizing that they were retail and expecting the failure that was repeated. I would greatly appreciate either untouched OEM installation disks or some other solution if anyone knows of one.
Hi, I have a Medion Laptop, if I install XP MCE and use the OEM SLP Medion Key from the post above, will Windows activate? Thank You.
I had trouble activating (using Dell oem files and serial) and it wouldn't pre-activate, I used the antiwga patch finally, please correct me if I am wrong in my assumptions here, It appears to uninstall wga, then my system was finally activated. I reinstalled wga (with Dell activation files still in place)and it now stays activated!!!???? I had trouble with the MCE dvd accepting serials as well, I used the original reinstallation disk from Dell I guess I should list some of my assumptions 1. WGA, if pre-installed prevents automatic slp activation (it must have occurred before wga first checks) 2. anti-wga patch just un-installs wga, doesn't mod anytrhing else...
It DOES NOT alter any files. All it does is put a reg entry in and add a antiwpa.dll..It basically tricks the check into thinking it is trial... Nothing is uninstalled, only a .dll added and registered, to redirect the checks. You can add any wpa check you want and it never goes any further than the .dll call. You can unregister the antiwpa.dll and the countdown will continue. FYI, I have had a test machine with the AWPA on it for 3 years and it has been updated automatically and never deactivated..It is the safest non-oem activation you can get..certainly of the "aftermarket" or "third party" variety... If you start messing with installing and uninstalling, you will mess stuff up.. Just take a look at the batch script.. Another thing is the DELL files must be of a certain type, and the dell SLP is a difficult one to place sometimes..The problems you are speaking of sound like a setupp.ini that is wrong and oembios files not right.
So i h' the two ISO's can someone show where do i put the second iso from Ultraiso in pic. Someone mentioned in the root directory, but where is that.????
M$ are getting mad with they way they are protecting XP, thay have the whole team dedicated to removing any XP downloads (or even semi-legitimate ebay sales of ie OEM media) They completely do not care about Vista or 7 for same things sebus
This just proves that their real strategy is not to fight with piracy, but to force everyone, who's still using XP, including illegal users (whom they say they like to work with), move to a newer Windows OS.
Get PowerISO on UltraISO. Open both ISO's at the same time. What you see in the 1st ISO where the loose files are, is the root. Drag and drop ALL the files and folders of the 2nd ISO into an empty area in the 1st ISO. Save the 1st ISO. Write to DVD using Nero or something similar at 4x write speed to minimize possible data integrity failures.
hi, is this MCE2005 OEM or VOL? File Name: en_winxp_mce_2005_cd1.iso SHA1: 263E59A41559BDB988304F033EA8116EFC500456 thx
Hi guys, I have the Windows XP MCE 2005 original ISOs. I'm going to install it for OEM:SLP activation, is there anything I need to change? I know I have to add the OEMBIOS set but do I need to do that retail to OEM thing described in the stickied thread? Cheers, iNO12
