iceman do you realy think for one minute that i think someone having a copy of xp pro is so rare and cool for who ever to have one, iwrote the thread in a way not to get pcstats in trouble if they replyed to question, i do have a cd/rw like most people today and like most people today 95 percent of there software is copys i am no fn idiot who does'nt know the score.<BR><BR>take it easy mellow out and do not try and rip people on here does not go down to well. and to be honest i would be a fn idiot to buy xp pro if it is right i can use the one on offer for free, if that is that i can use it, the key code he has with it is the right one he got it of a friend at uni

Appology excepted iceman, to be honest i live in Liverpool Uk and pretty much not had an ideal life sort of grew up around piss takers backstabers thievery most things lol, so when i think someone is taking the piss out of me i snap, when most times i should know know it's harmless fun.<BR><BR>So i think i should appologise to you aswell as i jumped the gun no hard feelings i hope, i have seen your posts on here and you come across as a cool guy i should of new better that you were only joking about with me so take it easy and i am not that bad i probably had an off day we all have them i suppose so sorry to you for not taking what you said on the chin like everyone else and smiling instead.

Shez.... calm down man.... Im sure ICEMAN's sarcasm was just for funnies.... <BR><BR>if one ahem.... hypothetically... installed an illegal copy of XP2600 and never wanted anyone to ever know about it... go into administrative tools and to computer management. Disable every user except admin (you), also make sure remote access is disabled.<BR><BR>for your second question, when you boot from the cd it will give you the option to format and overwrite your old OS or make a new partition and have both OS's installed. <BR><BR>EDIT: Not that you should even be this paraniod, IMO F*** Bill.

thanx Adramelk the advice is sound i am glad to know hypothetically that is lol<BR><BR>, and as for Iceman just pulling my leg meaning no harm you are right it is me i can take things the wrong way at times i hope he gets to see my appology to him as i was the one who was out of order for snapping the way i did he is a good feller as i have seen about this site. so if you raed this iceman sorry again,<BR><BR>i have to learn to be a bit more cooler about things i know i will lose friends fast acting like i did anyway take it easy mate catch yer about on here.

Back to the topic<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">, yes XP Pro Corp is ok to run if you use a new key from a keygen, not the common one that has been floating around...SP1 even works with a new key.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
