Either buy a legal copy of windows, or let it expire.
No one here will give you any other solution, since that would be piracy, and therefore against forum rules.

Dude, like i said, no one will answer that question, even with a yes or no, and if they do, you can count on it the mods will have a word with them about piracy on the forums. So just don't bother asking.

windows xp has cd sets and if your key does not go with the cd set it will not work. Also, even if you do crack it, which im not saying you can, you will have a problem with updates due to the microsoft genuine validation. so unless you are going to spend hours of googling and trial and error, its not worth it

Open Internet explorer, tools, manage add ons, you will see a list of services, (don't forget the drop down window for more options), highlight Windows Genuine Validation tool, disable, apply, re-start Explorer.


BINGO!!!
