"IT WORKS ....HERE'S HOW"
Version: Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) 1a
Pros
It works great!
Cons
nothing yet
Summary
I have a legal copy of Windows xp w/o any service packs, but because I had installed it several times over the years Microsoft refused to let me install it anymore.
I could install it though, but couldn't get the service pack updates.
How I got around this....First I did a clean install, then I installed service pack 1a that I downloaded from this site. (I downloaded it on another pc and put it on a flash drive). After the install I ran Norton System Works to clean up the registry. Now I was able to go to Microsoft's Windows update site and started getting all the other up dates. After service pack 2 was installed I manually requested ie 6. After that was installed Windows update continued to give me all the updates including service pack 3. This ALL took place in less than 2 1/2 hours. So glad I read all of your comments before I attempted it. -
