xpmaniac4ever Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 lol mraeryceos Reshack sysdm.cpl and change the string that says SP1 to SP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraeryceos Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Looked through sysdm.cpl and couldn't find any mention of "pack" (ignore case), and the only mentions of sp1 I found were:"USP10.dll" (which is a dll for unicode)"d:\xpsp1\admin\pchealth\client\common\fhclicfg\util.cpp"Am I doing something wrong? Used Hex Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 You could use Resource Hacker, Open Sysdm.cpl , Open Dialog 101 and Delete CONTROL "", 55. Then place a label control in its place and use SP2 as the caption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraeryceos Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) Do I make the line look like this: CONTROL "Service Pack 2", 55, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 55, 70, 8Is there anything else to it? How do the other words show up on their own (like "Microsoft Windows XP" in control "", 52)My guess is that 141 is the x position, 55 is the y position. 70 must be the width. SS_LEFT must be the justification. I have no idea what the number 8 is. The 55 on the left must be the ID number... do I delete this?

jroc Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 (edited) might as well just make it "Service Pack Utimate Gold Exclusive Edition"...it really makes no sense but to each their own...I guess some people put 'Corvette' emblems on their Volkswagen to fool people.

muiz Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 install sp2 does the trick also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketbuster Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Try this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]"CSDVersion"="Service Pack 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraeryceos Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 I change CSDVersion, but no effect on the System Properties window. I restart the machine, and CSDVersion reverts to "Service Pack 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophiel X Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 reshack sysdm.cpl and just delete the last label after System.it won't change the text but it will get rid of the text if you don't know how to add your own label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraeryceos Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) I made up the number 11 here, and that did the trick:CONTROL "Service Pack 2", 11, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 141, 55, 100, 8Sorry, just getting around to it.

RyanVM Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 If I might ask, what exactly is the point of doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mraeryceos Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 I just know that one day some over the phone tech support will say "I'm sorry, but we only support WinXP Service Pack 2 or greater", which is absolute bul***** response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Sorry to say this but what your doing is one of the dumbest things ive ever seen. So because it says Service pack 2 on your screen then tech support will think its service pack 2 also. LMAO Theres like 50,000 other ways to find out what service pack version of XP your using. That little caption in the system properties box doesnt mean crap.most ppl look up what version it is by opening a cmd prompt and typing "systeminfo"Face it , Download Service pack 2 and stop being a muppet.
