It says I don't have the WGA tool, but I still can't install wmp11. :\
Well, the key I'm using must be weird then, cause' Windows says I don't have a genuine copy, and I have removed WGA... And I can install any MS product and/or updates. (Even before I removed WGA, I could install/update whatever I wanted)
This is what I did - installed a SP1 version - got the Jelly bean key changer thing - put in new SP2 key - windows still says I have not genuine - yet it still acts like a legit version - Only reason I removed WGA is cause' it kept popping up, was annoying... It didn't actually stop me from installing anything.
Do you have XP Pro or what? That's what I'm using.
