WinXP Blues

Hi,
Did you activate your winXP after you install it and prior
to installing your service pack? If you didn't, that may
explain the message about pirated software. I'd start over
again with the upgrade install, this time activate it, then
install the service pack and you should be okay. Good
luck.
