Thatv is to upgrade your operating system to the newest version--probably resulting in a system crash and trip to local pc shop for reinstallation _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating
installed it
pop in original WinXP CD
point it to where you save the Service Pack 2
took me about 15 minutes using my notebook
burnt the ISO to a CD
and now I have a WinXP SP2 CD
so just whats this supposed to be or do? for us that are not really literate on these machines.
when you need to reinstall WinXP, you would have to install any service packs
instead of doing this, you create a CD that incorporates the service pack into the operating system so that you can reinstall the OS with the SP
well these bastards didnt give me the CD when they put mine in, but I did download the SP2, took 5 hrs I think, maybe iy was longer.
But I have a friend from scotland moving over here and he is a tech and bringin all his CDs and other shit so no sweat when he finally gets here.
BTW I am not tech
just a beta tester of Windows XP SP2
maybe closer to 8 hrs, right now it says 44, so anywhere from there to 52, but you know the Thai ISP never hooked steady to the internet,kinda comes and goes, sometimes off for so long that I have to drop the connection and redial to get back on the web. and I have bitched and they say they can do nothing, sometimes I call up a page and then watch the 2 little modems in the taskbar and the stay black for 5 minutes til one says data in or out. and tha page has timed out. Now I have TTT but loxinfo and Inet are the same.I had iptv sat. for 6 months and it never worked, but I got a bill for 1500 baht every month.
you can request a copy of WinXP SP2 (just the service pack) from MS for free
note that if you are not using a original copy of WinXP, your computer will not run after installing the service pack 2 _________________ =============

Im boight my copy at a reputable cd shop and paid about 3US$ for it. Does that make it original? It included a license code as well
What I actually meant was a valid licence key
There are actually key finders that hunt for a valid key via the Internet, but that's another story heh heh _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating
sure, for $3 it should be origional, they will load it here from a copy-copy CD and charge 100 baht and give ya a number to use also.
But when I was looking for an origional, I looked on E-BAY and got some replys from guys offering to sell me a copy with numbers and also how to get a number to use.

If only software developers sell software based on the capita income of each country, then piracy can be reduced. How many individuals can really afford to buy a retail copy of WinXP, even though MS Thailand has introduce a cheap copy, which by the way is useless. Of course, there is a flaw though. Sales of software to 3rd world and developing would increase since the Americans would flock over to buy the software at the reduced rates
