How to Change your XP Corp Key safely.

 

Step 1.  Go to www.google.com and search for a file called “48062-all_xp_suite_keygen “ and download it.

 

Step 2.  Run this program so it looks like this:

 

 

Step 3.  Click the “Process” button and Go outside and do something for a few hours.  Talk to other people, maybe even a girl, enjoy the sunshine.

 

Step 4.  Come back inside where it’s safe and you should see that it found some keys.  Save the log file where you can find it.

 

Step 5.  Go to StartàRunàMSCONFIG and hit enter.  Now hit the “Launch System Restore” button, click “Create a restore point” and name it:  “Before I hacked my xp key” and hit enter.  Now close MSCONFIG.

 

 

 

Step 6.  Run regedit and go to: HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents, and on the right double click on "oobetimer" and change at least one digit of this value to deactivate windows. Close regedit.

 

 

Step 7.  Choose run from the start menu and type in this command: “%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a” (without quotes) to get the activation screen and go to the second option which is activate by phone.

 

 

Step 8.  In the new screen choose the option to change product key, and type in
the new product key that you got using the keygen (use Corporate one only and ignore the whole confirmation number crap)

 

 



Step 9.  If it brings you back to the prior screen after entering the new key
click remind me later and then reboot. (this is not a problem)

Step 10.  Close that window, reboot your system and Choose run from the start menu and type in this command: “%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a” (without quotes)
for the second time to verify your activation , you should see "windows is
already activated".

 



Now you can install SP1 (when it comes out)

If you have done this wrong or without a valid key you will not be able
to boot. hit F8 and select last known good configuration (this is why you made the restore point).

 

Lather, Rinse, Repeat if necessary.
