hi I have a problem desire to update service pack of my
windowsXP, but it does not work because I have a pirate
key, already buys software and I have the key like it
change in my PC without having reinstalarlo. thanks
 
If you are getting the following error message when attempting to update:

Error Message: The Product Key Used to Install Windows Is Invalid
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;326904&Product=winxp

You'll have to purchase a new "Full Version" of Windows XP Professional
and perform a "Repair Install" using the new Windows XP Pro CD and Product Key
that comes with it. (You cannot simply change the Product Key)
