Don't have an activation key and can't get your Windows XP to update?
This will solve your problem!

Microsoft made me remove the information on this page because it contained "infringement content" according to the DMCA. Sorry, guys... for now, I recommend you all visit www.autopatcher.com if you need help with a GENUINE microsoft windows xp software that won't update.

You can probably find the help on our forums at http://forums.rfuz.com

xp mce 2005

hello all, i cant get this to work for xp mce 2005, ive got the mce install code"c4bh3-p4j7w-9mt6x-pgkc8-j4jtm" also i have 2 installs on my pc "the one im using and the one im locked out of" i can see the files on the origanal install" the ones ms is holding for ransom" is there a way to delete the activation process on the first install from the second?
any help would be great.
thanx, GamesterX

these instructions are for windows XP pro service pack 2 using that exact key.
written by garno, November 17, 2006

my only advice for you is to upgrade your MCE to windows XP PRO. PRO is actually higher than MCE.

ORRRR If you want to use these steps....for MCE, then you have to get one of the generic MCE keys that are compatible for your build. (if you dont understand what this means, keep trying a buncha different keys until one works)

obviously I put the slash.

Thanks, worked fine! But I still need some help...
written by me@here, November 30, 2006

Simply: I have a laptop and a desktop. Laptop is running on Ubuntu Linux, and I would like to use "legal" Windows XP Pro on desktop. "Legal" means I have that XP Pro sticker on the bottom of laptop, and I could use the serial from that.
The problem: Any of my XP medias won't accept the code, all are propably only corporate versions. I've been trying to search from P2P, just managed to dl a couple of more corporate versions. Laptop has these Acer restore CDs, but I think it's only waste of time to offer it to desktop. Any ideas where to find such version of XP or how to get only XP out from restore CDs???

OK
written by radd, November 30, 2006

interceptorv8, this crack isn't meant for Windows MCE. also, you need a windows MCE key for this to work.

in reply to me@here
written by radd, November 30, 2006

you cannot use this crack on OEM restore CD's. this crack only works if you have the bootleg XP cd that uses the serial key JD3T2...

You need to learn how use BitTorrent, I have a great guide here on this site and also some websites to visit to DL the windows XP cd version that you need for this crack.

I reply to OK
written by interceptorv8, December 01, 2006

I know I need the MCE key, but where is the rigth place to put , because is not exist same place that in XP regedit, uou know : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWindows NTCurrentVersionWPAEventsOOBETimer

written by nully, December 02, 2006

it may or may not work depending on what Windows XP key you use. There are many versions of every Windows XP also known as builds. You have to match up the right builds.

It works
written by Darren, December 02, 2006

Thanks, for the great crack. I don't even get how it works. Windows update even stops asking for validation. Does that have something to do with OOBE or the new product key? Isn't Update supposed to be able to detect duplicate product keys, as well? Either way it's great. I haven't updated in months!

omg thanks! works gr8!

For those that didn't have the key working
written by Rado2, December 06, 2006

If your Windows XP is a legitimate copy, this crack won't work. The crack only works for the right windows XP service pack 2 version that uses the CD listed at the beginning of the guide. You might consider just downloading and installing the right "bootleg" CD and installing that and then cracking it.

You're great!

What Can I DO

Hey....What should i do?

You Can Just Call...
written by Agentpimp, December 12, 2006

I had the same problem a few months ago, I couldn't find the product key for MS Windows and It said "If not activated in 14 days, windows will no longer work" What ever that means, thankfully I never found out because I just called the number on the "Call for assistance" page and they gave me the product key within three minutes. I suppose I was lucky though, because in my previous dealings with customer service, I get an automated recording and I end up in some department where the people don't know anything about my problem. Good tip though. I will have to try it sometime.

Your bootleg version of windows is not the correct one. Your version should already have the service pack 2 included and uses the CD key I mentioned at the beginning of the article. You can find that ISO on any torrent sites easily.

written by daved, December 28, 2006

.....instead of deleting from the registry.
I had this tool saved since XPSP 2 came out. Serial keys begining with "FCKGW..." were not valid. This tool brought up the activation window.you just picked a new key provided by the tool and entered it. I used your key with this tool and finally got it to work. Good work on the product key, but the registry should be left alone.
Email me if you want a copy of this tool.

But thanks anyway for posting this, I know you've helped a lot of people it just sucks that I got a diff version.

RE: ... Ian
written by Agent Rado, January 09, 2007

Hey Ian,

What CD key did you use to install your Windows XP? Perhaps I can find a way to help you.

Also, another tip is to go to a bit torrent site *cough* www.isohunt.com and dl the right Windows XP ISO image. And then use that CD to "repair" your current windows XP, and then from there you can crack it and get updates. There's another guide on this site that teaches you how to "repair" your current windows XP.

written by Ian, January 10, 2007

I checked on the microsoft website and used the MS validation program and it says that my product key is genuine hurrah! and I was able to download IE7, WMP11, etc. without any problem.

replies to all
written by null, January 16, 2007

Walter, you need to look for a key online from a torrent site like isohunt.com download windows xp ISO files with the azureus bit torrent client program. you will see some windows XP ISO's that have the version build 2600 next to the name. Then just use the cd-key and follow the steps above to change the CD key... IF, you have already got the blue star logo on the bottom right of your screen..then you best option is to reformmat and crack your system before you get the blue star from microsoft update.



Code can't be used already....
written by edmond, January 17, 2007

Hey,
I juz found out the code cannot be used already..I guess MS. has already known of it. It says this key is non-valid when I update on the Ms. Update. Please show us another way of cracking it. Way to go RFUZ!!!

to edmond
written by Agent Rado, January 17, 2007

did you do this on a newly reformmated computer? or a computer that had windows XP installed long ago?

in the meanwhile, you can use autopatcher.com until i get more details from you.

This was a pc that was getting a BSoD and I booted to an XP cd and ran chkdsk /r. It then booted fine. It was a base XP Pro install. I then installed XP2 from a cd. Afterwards when I tried to go to the MS update site it said it was a bootleg version of XP and couldn't update. After following the above instructions I have been able to install over 70 updates including IE7 and WMP11.

Thanks, my wife's friend's pc now has all of the updates and she is happy.

Get Rid of Blue Star
written by zedex, January 19, 2007

Null, You can get rid of the blue star by starting your PC in Safe Mode and then navigate to C:WINDOWSsystem32. Find the file “WgaTray” and delete it. Restart your PC in normal mode and the blue star will be gone.

did you get hit by the blue star? also...is it blocking your updates? ...also, was your system cracked AFTER a fresh install? or had you been running on the bootleg version for some time now?

when did you get that error? is that a blue screen of death error?

RE: NIKI
written by Agent Rado, January 23, 2007

niki, the crack works best only right after a full reformmat........if you run on bootleg windows xp for sometime, it updates the system files and changes the cracking method. I suggest you re-install from scratch...or try doing a windows repair install and crack that. let me know how this turns out...... btw, what was your original installation CD key that you used?

Help please

Hi AM,

You will have to dl another windows XP ISO file with service pack 2 already include. I suggest using bit torrent and looking www.isohunt.com Do leave a message if you can't figure it out and I will help you further. You can also post on our forums for more help.

RE: Benny2k

what activation screen are you getting? and what version of windows XP did you install?

RE: Alex
written by Agent Rado, January 30, 2007

Hi Alex,

you said you go to the file msoobe.exe? That makes no sense. You're not supposed to browse for the file....

again, you're supposed to open up the RUN windows and type in exactly what you see here in the quotes and hit ENTER:

"%systemroot%system32oobemsoobe.exe /a"


It looks to me like you might have missed the "a"

OK......go back to the regedit step... and make sure you change a WHOLE bunch of values....like delete everything in the registry key and put a bunch of zeroes.

Question
written by Help, February 08, 2007

You said it will crack the Windows XP with Service Pack 2 that uses the registration key: JD3T2-QH36R-X7W2W-7R3XT-DVRPQ. How do i know whick registration key do I have????? what about I have different registrantion key???


RE: whitie
written by Agent Rado, February 08, 2007

What you need to do is a windows xp repair install... find your windows XP CD and follow the repair install guide on this site (you can search it up)

after you do the repair install...you can re-validate again.

RE: Help
written by Agent Rado, February 08, 2007

Actually...the plan was for you to find the exact same ISO that use the jd3t2 key..it can be easily found on many bit torrent sites. This crack DOES work for other versions of windows XP...but then you would have to use a key that was generated for your exact version..the 2G28K one above might not work.

Maybe you can still leave the tutorial on how to change your key. There is nothing illegal with that. I wanted to change the registration key that I already have, but I don't remember how to. :(
