service pack 1

[dardevid]

ho windows xp e ho provato a installare il service pack 1 ma non ci riesco perchè mi vine l'avviso che la mia product key di windows non è valida.
Come si fa a cambiare la product key?

Non credo si possa. Cmq mi pare strano. Non so aiutarti, mi spiace.

Avrai una copia pirata...

si può cambiare la product-key e non è detto che sia pirata, infatti alcuni utenti hanno lamentato dei problemi analoghi, comunque questo è il metodo (in inglese, arriva dal sito ufficiale microsoft)

Use the Activation Wizard
If you have only a few volume licensing product keys to change, you can use the Activation Wizard.

NOTE: Microsoft recommends that you run System Restore to create a new restore point before you complete the following steps. For information about how to create a restore point by using System Restore, see the "To Create a Restore Point" help topic in Help and Support.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In the left pane, locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents
4. In the right pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.
5. Change at least one digit of this value to deactivate Windows.
6. Click Start, and then click Run.
7. In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK.
%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a
8. Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows, and then click Next.
9. Click Change Product key.
10. Type the new product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update.

If you are returned to the previous window, click Remind me later, and then restart the computer.
11. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to verify that Windows is activated. You receive the following message:
Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.
12. Click OK.
13. Install SP1 for Windows XP.

If you cannot restart Windows after you install SP1, press F8 when you restart the computer, select Last Known Good Configuration, and then repeat this procedure.

Vista la delicatezza del topic (solitamnte il sp1 non si installa sulle copie pirata) prima che degeneri lo chiudo.
