Here's a quick fix for all you who have illegal XP's and want to be able to do what those who have legal versions can do. If you can read instructions, you'll have no trouble, if not, I don't take responsibility for it!
1) ) Go to Start, Run, type regedit
2) Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents
3) In the right-hand pane, double click on the value "OOBETimer"
4) Change one of these characters to another random character (it really doesn't matter which, the idea is to corrupt the key so that we un-activate our copy of Windows) and press OK
5) I've generated keys for you so use one of the following:

6) Go to Start, Run, and type C:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a, obviouslly replace C: with the drive letter that Windows is installed to.
7) Select the option to activate by phone, and press Next
Cool Click the button at the bottom labelled "Change Product Key"
9) Enter the new product key that the keygen created, and click Update
10) When the key is updated, do not continue with the activation process, close the activation window!
There are 50 unique keys and let me know if any don't work. There's about a 99% success rate with these keys so there may be one that doesn't work. Try another.
