Hi
You may not be able to install the SP2 file. In addition you may not be able to Windows Update either. -- Will Denny MVP - Windows Shell/User Please reply to the News Groups "rick" wrote in message ...

I believe that it would depend on the product key that was used for the dodgy
copy of XP. MS block lists of known pirated ones from SP installs and windows update. I've heard talk of being able to change the product key after installation though "rick" wrote: I have a purchased version of xp.... but just out of curiosity....what happens if you have a pirated version of winxp and you download sp2?.
