wzperson Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Win XP version 5.1 (Build 2600. xpclient.010817-1148)Is my winxp final edition? I successfully ran the windows update for my soundcard (SB Live Digital). Does it mean that I can use the update service for good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 Yes...you have the final code.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wzperson Posted October 13, 2001 Author Share Posted October 13, 2001 My winxp is none-activation version, namely OEM or Corporate edition but I am not sure about it. Can all oem winxp use update service? If positive, that will be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 I take back what I said earlier about you being able to d/l from the updates site forever with what you have. I was just reading in another thread where there is a discussion about this and the gist is that M$ will probably defeat the crack we have soon and the same will happen with the retail version. The battle will be between hackers and M$ to keep the version undetected by Update. My answer is to quit getting change every time you buy something. Take that change and drop it in a jar in your house, roll the coins and in about a month or so, you will have enough to go out and buy a copy that is your very own.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefde Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 :cry I can get to the Windows Update site, does the system scan, then says there no updates available.:multiblob Any thing I can change here on my end so I can see the list of Updates. Activation is ON. -Chefde_____________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerties Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Windows updates has already started to filter out piracy, betas, warez copys of XP....Knew it wouldnt be long till that happened.-Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Chris...did I miss a post where this has been discussed? Where did you find out that they are filtering out cracked copies? Winupdate has never worked for me except one time a couple of weeks ago when a demo install was put on and taken off. Probably was a bug that M$ put on me to find out which copy I am using...who knows?Rick:hohum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzdiesel Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 The only update I've got from the site is the Java update, and it still worked a couple of days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LouCypher Posted October 22, 2001 Share Posted October 22, 2001 They'd probably block us and put up a nice anti-piracy notice or something. That's if they're being nice. Since they have the IP address of every access to their site and could easily correlate to the submitted serial number/UID they could just fire off nicely worded letters to our ISP and shut down access, among other things.:cryIt's happened before over supposed post to newsgroups of movies by the MPAA, it's not unlikely Microsoft could or would do the same. Especially since it's such a voluntary confession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganloo Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 it said:load source file wrong, but i did exactly what it told me. I don't know what is wrong. after I setup office 2000, I have this problem when I open word2000, the same message turns on, but word works well. I install corp with chinese language package, and update option takes me to chinese website of microsoft. I tried english website the same error.

LS_Dragons Posted October 24, 2001 Share Posted October 24, 2001 Windows Update is a pretty cool feature - but I am sure most of us have the options set to 'just notify' as opposed to automatically downloading and installing. If you cannot get the update site to work - you can always go to the download search site:h*tp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.aspJust select windows XP Pro as product and Windows XP as OS and your are good to go.Also - there should be a corp update site for XP soon similar to:h*tp://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/default.asporht*p://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/corporate.aspThis is actually how I like to view and select ALL Windows Updates. Cool thing is this way - you can also save the download to disk and use to update several machines rather that having to 'update' each one live.
