I read that there were fakes circulating with 2600.01 and it was on edonkey. I got my version of 2600 from there but the file had nothing about the .01 in it. How do I know if I have loaded a fake or if I am running the real thing?

Rick

get the crc.exe file from http://www.windowsxp.nu . it will tell you if the iso is valid

You should check the properties once you have burned the .iso file for the date 22 or 23 of aug. Again the RTM is 2600 not .03 or .01....these are fakes.

check your version code in system property

Hey man, I appreciate your helping out and everything but why use so many threads and don't give complete info? Where do I look in system info for this code?

Rick

Im not sure barnettrp if that staement was directed at me but I misunderstood you in thinking you hadnt installed this version. I try to supply the best information I can. Now just to inform you if you dont already know but any version contianing .03 or .01 are all fakes. Anyways if you have already installed simply go to the run... dialog, and type WINVER.........this will tell you what version your running....but I recommend just download the corp. version....no activation and timebomb...Works great. Hope this help.

right click on my computer(if you don't know how to find the computer icon using xp let me know) then click property, there should be some number like this

XXXXX-^^^-XXXXXXX-XXXXX

000 = retail

OEM = OEM

540 = Beta

270 = Corporate

by the way, there are no 2600.1 or 2. or 3, only 2600..final one

System Properties/General I find this number :55274-640-0000356-23920.

What version do I have ?

640 = ?

I have a "Corporate Select" version that shows 640, and is doing all the right things.

640is Corp. Version.
