XP SP1 trouble

[mak-uk 0]

Hi

 

I recently followed a guide on the Net to get SP1 installed on to my Windows XP. That works great.

 

I then came across a pre-integrated SP1 build and obtained a serial for it to try it out. It worked, installed etc. However, when trying Windows Update, it says the key is not valid.

 

Is there any way I can get around the above and have the integrated SP1 build work with Windows Update or am I going to have to do it the long way around each time by up[censored] it to SP1?

 

Thanks.

Hi

 

Not really a fix is it? More like a work around!

Ah, you're in the UK.

I don't think the above link posted will actually work for you.

Try:

www.pricewatch.co.uk

 

Then type "Windows XP" into the search box.

Any version of WinXP you purchase now will have SP1 integrated.
