| Pirate Windows no more I discovered that you cannot update if your windows is not original  Guess I need to call that damn Windows Center for my new serial number.(windows XP home original)
But if you turn automatic updates on, then you can still update. The bad thing is you cannot install updates customly  | |

| Hi my friends,
I found a way from an article to bypass the validation process just by using one javascript code.
Check it out.
If someone has tried it out, please let us know.

For example, my case, only using Service Pack 1 , do not have the option to disable any Active X plugin since it is not in the Internet Explorer  | |

| found a website where one can update winxp using firefox without validating. read about it on another group and thought that i should share this. however before being able to update you would have to download a plugin for firefox (i assume that most people would be using ff from this forum). when it begins to scan your pc for files just allow it. it will then give you a list of updates and then you can choose wether to update or not.

| Re: Pirate Windows no more Ok if you don't trust this site or using the plugin...
Here's a site where u dl the updates directly from Microsoft's ftp/http server without goin thru Windows Update.
»www.softwarepatch.com/windows/index.html
This has most if not ALL the necessary updates + the extras you don't get from other place.

searching through the reg ifound this...the temp file
"InstallSource"="H:\\DOCUME~1\\ADMINI~1\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\IXP000.TMP\\"
anyway theres an uninstall string in the reg
at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\9EC9653600AFC964FAC55E4D9DA3FC19]
"UninstallString" =MsiExec.exe /I{63569CE9-FA00-469C-AF5C-E5D4D93ACF91}
ok so does running this uninstall string at the run command uninstall this shit or what???

| Re: Pirate Windows no more Guys, the new Windows Update does no longer allowed pirated copies to be updated even the WGA ActiveX is disabled in Tools menu.
Thus, its time for you to get/buy original now...
However, there is still a way around this method (although automatic update is not supported)...
Just install firefox,mozilla,opera and use »www.windizupdate.com/ to get recent windows update...
no hacking is needed...

| Could you believe it!!? When I tried to download DirectX SDK Dec 2005 release using Firefox, it can get through. »www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···yLang=en
But you need to download WGAPluginInstall.exe plugin for FF (available at Microsoft, upon downloading softwares), so the site can verify/validate the windows.
Still you can't use FF for the windows update site though, exclusively for IE. :)

| Re: Pirate Windows no more yupe...the patch by the site is not up to date... it takes few hrs/day for the patch to go through...
if you still want 'live' update, there are few ways to do it.. but require 'hacking' which might be problematic for noobies
