Ref SP1 Installation - Key Generator

[Jimbo]

I think you probably tried to patch before you ran the tool...
It happens only after a certain number of reboots.
So either you go to an earlier point in your system retsore (at least I hope you made one before you tried to change your registry... : ) or maybe try the xp-antyspy thing...
it unlocked the msoobe

good luck

Yes!! xp-antispy did the trick.
SP1 now installed.
Thank you very much, Duch_Mu.

don't be afraid, it is microsoft itself that gave the "pirates" a certain grace period to activate their version. Just run that little key-changer soft it does the registry changes for you!! And you don't need any program from microsoft, it 's in XP yet(msoobe). So don't worry with the serial-key changer... and the antispy tweak-modifications are only usefull for people who had installed it (I think).
