    Does your system have one of the required ASUS SLP string in it's BIOS?
    eg:
    If not, start with reading up on the requirements for OEM:SLP activation

    To use OEMBIOS files for OEM activation you need the correct SLP string in your BIOS as FS says.

    I would personally go modded hosts file + VLK for XP

    Thanks for reply but how can I do that?

    (Actually I don't want to edit anything in my BIOS as I know nothing about it, unless it could be renewed after a reintallation of OS, or there is method of emulation)

    No, it permenantly marks the BIOS with an SLP string.
