 :y DXP SP3 causes an issue with a particularly rubbish onboard audio chipset which nobody in their right mind should use.  - Why didn't someone say that in the first place!

The higher spec P4s were stuffed by SP2

Quote
Your computer uses an Intel Pentium 4 or Intel Celeron D processor that is based on Prescott C-0 processor stepping.

And the Sp2 CDs didn't have the P4 patch on them.

The SP3 CD, and the SP1 CD have both vanished - I used the SP3 CD recently and it is not in my house.

All PCs have a genuine licence - none have been pirated.

Two PCs at work with genuine licences were taken out last year by WGA - the so called very rare false positive.

It took nearly a day to sort one of them.

Not for the version you are trying to install, hence it not takking the key ;)


As for WGA failures, I suggest to look into how it works, and that will explain quite clearly why it is 100% accurate in the task it does (WGA checks that Windows is properly activated, thats all. If it fails, its an activation problem).

And you can slipstream SP3 onto any XP CD.  As long as the base CD is correct for what you want (eg Home/Pro/MCE and OEM/Retail/Volume)
