ok its like this, i installed ETH0's version of XP PRO(?) with SP2 slipstreamed, as mentioned in their nfo its says there is a activation fix included.

the thing is that when i installed it and asked for the key, a LEGIT Pro key didnt work, a LEGIT corp VLK did work, so that made me think,

i continued and booted into windows, and what did i notice? there whas no activation, even after several boots.., nor did that fix do anything; coz it simple couldnt run, so my geuss is that this is just a CORP version instead of the PRO like their nfo is saying, if i had known that it whas a CORP version i'd never install it, games dont run as they should on a corp, coz they ran perfectly on my previous PRO (non SP) install..

ps: the keys they include in the nfo are corp keys.. fishy?

anyone know something more about this?

thanks

LOL - I was caught out with this recently. Although their NFO says it's not Corp it most definitely IS.....not sure how they got away with that without getting shot down, but it seems they did.

i just installed this on my new L5GX laptop, and after the initial boot and tweak, i installed the activation "fix" included.

whoops!!!!

after i booted into safe mode and installed it, the PC just kept booting over and over, and could never boot into the OS!

SP2 looks like a bunch of crap anyways....

Mad

btw, is that corp/gaming talk for real or just a myth???

Confused
