I don’t have a registered copy of windows xp and I was wondering how I can download the WSP2 so it will work, it gives me an error that the key code isn’t registered. Is there a way to get around that? Please let me know.

Thanks much :)
 
You mean you have a copy of winxp. well u cant install it since during installation microsoft checks if ur system info(serails code for motherboard...) are the same as registered with them, so if u have a copy it wont work. I think it works this way but not sure, i heard this from someone. You should get the new installation CD containing the sp2 with the windowsxp.

Well what happens it says I don’t have a registered copy, I do have windows installed already but I’m trying to install the service pack 2 and is there a way to install that without installing a new copy of windows. Is there a download that doesn’t check the serial # or activation code
 
cant download it from there

see i cant download it from microsofts website. i need to find it from somewhere else because it wont let me install it, it says i dont have a registered copy of windows. So is there a copy of WSP2 that doesnt check the key code

If it is a legitimate version of windows XP, as you say, I would suggest contacting microsoft, they should be able to help you.
