Driverheaven has gotten XP SP Build 1079

Jul 24, 2002, 11:24 AM

I recommend not uninstalling 1078 unless its necessary as uninstalling these SP betas can cause media player, IE, or basically any MS program plus any programs you have installed since you installed the SP beta.

So try to install on the top first....if it dont work then rollback

I suggest that you use a download manager.

screw it am gonna over install , will post results, if you dont hear from me, well then you know..lol

Also another interesting note. I slipstreamed my copy and did a fresh install. I then used some XP pro keys (generated ones) and for what ever reason the activation portion will not work as it always returns an incorrect key. Wonder if they have been able to take care of the XP key generator and the keys that it makes.

Do you know of a good one that's not loaded with spyware?

I usually don't have a problem dling as I have a pretty fast cable connection.

actually if you didnt archive then you cant uninstall anyways as it has no files to uninstall to

that would mean reformatting

trust me ive over installed every last build and it has never ever once said no to me

Anyone else have this problem?

Does the pro keys work with the corp key when u slipstream?

DallasStar · Jul 24, 2002, 11:44 AM

why do we have to uninstall the previous sp1? does this one require that?

Generated corps no longer work, M$ has reversed engineered the keygen is my guess, Changed the algorithim for the corps

I expected a keygen for this a few weeks to a month after the final SP1 was released, now it'll probably be much sooner.

MS's strategy is so ass-backwards sometimes...

Soo true, MS dealt its hand early, besides they really are fighting a battle they cant win...the Tech community always gets the last word.

Always remember, if it can be written, it can be cracked, its the way of the code..lol

So basically you're saying that if microsoft, rather than doing this, just decided to give "almost complete" service packs which are very stable to the public and had absolutely no protection whatsoever and allowed pirated windows versions to run them, it would be better? I think not. If they did this, the peeps with pirated windows would just use the betas. I mean... they are stable aren't they? So why try to crack the final release when you pretty much have it already?

kodiak · Jul 24, 2002, 12:03 PM

Is there any links for us 56kers sp we won't get bumped by the big boy's. I'm feel left out here in the cold. LOL

FatalDog187 · Jul 24, 2002, 12:07 PM

dalasstar, the new algorithm is already included with the beta sp1s, the final sp1 will work fine on corp versions as long as you don't slipstream it.

i have a legit key, all im saying is that M$ is fighting a battle that cant be won, this has been going on since win 98 and they havent won yet. i never said it was right but when MS goes from charging $80 for an OS to $300 theyre just asking to be pirated.

And why are they gonna use betas when they can easily crack the official.

Unfortunatly that is the was of the technical and internet age...has made software security almost obselete.

Don't worry about that yet. It hasn't been activated yet in this version. Just download and enjoy

Oh yea, It will work
