XP Activation Needed !

I'd agree with that.
The rest, not so much.
The key is coded, with the actual installation disc.
So, you have to get the key that works with that coded disc,
in order for it to activate. And yes, they are specific.
Anotherwords, its like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Other people, will not have it.... That is most certain.

I can install ANY copy of Brazilian XP Pro with my (legit)
key, but it does not work for US versions. So yes, the keys are
language specific, but not "coded" into the install disk.
After the virtual XP is running(VirtualBox under Linux), I use
Xpy to "claim windows as registered", and it never bothers me again. I
use this copy to debug possible malware, and "roll back" to a previous
snapshot when I'm done.

Have you tried contacting Microsoft? I have one WinXP Pro computer that I
run off and on because I need a parallel port. I had an activation problem
about 2 months ago and called Microsoft and they verified my copy was
legitimate and gave me a code to enter which will work anytime I would ever
need to activate again.

Thanks for the response. Will give it a try.

Actually, it would probably be considered legal, since I'm using an
old installation CD from a computer back that had XP. I just don't
have the key any more.

are you some kind of nut. Computers are ****ed up. Did you not know
that much? Of course sometimes, depending on many factors of
circumstance, of what softwares are installed in the machine, as to what
conflicts with what and when, is how it is going to act. I have done
same thing you mentioned of here. Ran xp without a key for a whole year,
And it is possible to get the key from microsoft yes it is anyway. If
you follow what they tell you. It is also possible to get the key off
of the disc itself. Ever here of keyfinder? Believe me, everthing man
has tried to lock doors to with a computer, another man has unlocked
them. Which is exactly why, the government should not be on the
internet. Unless you want to pay for all that, I dont, and believe me,
we are paying for that sin of it to those *******s that do not care.
And, the key is coded, if it does not get the quirk to bypass it that is
depending on many circumstances of. In some cases, depending on which
copy of XP you are using and when it was made of, will determine of how
it actually acts when you install it.... MS ******* Gates changes
things all the time, and he always has. Not to mention, being a jerk
full of theft that he is full of. Anything that exists that he no
longer supports of, anyone should be able to use it for free. That
includes xp. But do you think he would set it up so its easy to get the
key, FAT CHANCE. And that is why, that man will be in hell with the
rest of the riff raff rapists. They sold you a computer these
communist *******s, and told you, your not allowed to copy anything.
And if you think that is right, I have an empire state building I will
sell you.

if you don't mind re-installing XP every 30-120 days, you would not need
a key. Just reinstall everything periodically.

When I was using Windows XP Mode [^1], I never had to re-install it
every 30 days. Has this changed, or are you not using Windows XP Mode?

I tried Windows XP mode in Windows 7 ultimate. It was hopeless.
The Windows XP mode virtual machine only seems to have one logical CPU
so it really crawled.

Windows XP works much much much better in a VirtualBox VM where I can
give it 4 logical CPUs.

ebay or ecrater.

If you want to use your existing installation make sure you are buying
the same edition. (I think both OEM / retail and 32 / 64 bit need to match)

That's a limitation on both VPC2007 and Windows Virtual PC.

And it would happen for any other OS you installed under those
hosting softwares.

I think Hyper-V is better than that. But that's not going to
help in this case.

VirtualBox is amazing by comparison, because not only does
it support multicore operation, but it also supports running
a 64bit OS on a 32bit host OS setup (i.e. as long as the CPU
supports 64bit instructions of course). I think both VPC2007
and Windows Virtual PC are limited to 32-bit guests. So even
if you install Win7 x64, you can still only run 32-bit
OSes in Windows Virtual PC.

And it's true that the core limitation, does drag things down.
If you try and run a Linux with Compiz graphics (where the hardware
doesn't provide acceleration), you really need another virtual
core to help in that situation.

I've run Windows 7 under VPC2007, on this machine, and
don't find the response all that bad. The interface doesn't
use terminal services, and maybe that helps a bit. (The WinXP Mode
VM uses Terminal Services to render rootless windows on the
host.) I can't run any more modern OS, as I think both
Win8 and Win10 can't run under the older hosting softwares.
Win8 and Win10 would need VirtualBox or Hyper-V.

As far as I know, WinXP Mode under Windows Virtual PC can run two ways.

Traditional desktop (this is probably what you tried)

+--------------------+
| |
| +------+ +---+ |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | +---+ |
| +------+ |
+--------------------+

But you can also run single programs on WinXP Mode and
have them pop up "rootless", like this. The code is
executed inside the VM, but the window for the program
appears on the regular desktop.

+------+
| |
| |
| |
+------+

And I only tested my WinXP Mode setup in the rooted
mode. I didn't try launching individual programs.

HTH,
Paul

Yes, that's the way I think I'm going.

I only need one of those "XP apps" every so often, and reinstallation
only takes a few minutes and is good for another 30 days ...
