Since its debut, Windows XP has been popular in many versions on the pirated market. Who is the real best version? How can you escape the activation problems caused by SP upgrades again and again? This article will give you a Complete answer.

1. Revealing the past and present of the most popular versions on the market:

Detailed comparison of three versions of Pro version of Windows XP: OEM, retail, and VOL.

Because there are three original versions of Windows XP Pro in English, we start with the English version.

(1) Original version.

1. Comparing "OEM" and "Retail Version", it was found that 5 files are inconsistent. They are:

OEMbios.bi_;

OEMbios.ca_ ;

OEMbios.da_;

OEMbios.si_;

SETUPPP.INI.

(The difference between SETUPPP.INI is that after opening it with Notepad: the last three digits of "Pid=" are OEM, 000)

2. "Retail version" and " VOL" version comparison, it was found that 8 files were inconsistent. They are:

OEMbios.bi_;

OEMbios.ca_;

OEMbios.da_;

OEMbios.bi_;

OEMbios.da_;

OEMbios.si_;

SETUPPP.INI;

dpcdll.dl_;

Pidgen.dll;

nt5inf .ca_.

The "nt5inf.ca_" in these two versions is a "security catalog file" after being released. After detailed comparison, it was found that their "security catalogs" are exactly the same. So there are actually only 7 inconsistent files between the two versions, they are:

OEMbios.bi_;

OEMbios.ca_;

OEMbios.da_;

OEMbios.si_;

SETUPPP.INI;

dpcdll.dl_;

Pidgen.dll.

(The difference between SETUPPP.INI is that the content after "ExtraData=" is inconsistent after opening it with Notepad. The last three digits of "Pid=" are: 000, 270)

3. Compare IBM's English OEM and Chinese OEM and find that the four OEMbios files are completely consistent.

4. Comparing the original versions of each version with those after upgrading to SP1, we found that: "dpcdll.dl_, Pidgen.dll" have been upgraded, and the other 5 files remain unchanged.

(2) After the original version is upgraded to SP1; after the original version is upgraded to SP2, the conclusion is the same as above. (And "nt5inf.ca_" is also completely consistent)

(3) Analogy to the simplified version.

1. Use the simplified retail version to create a simplified OEM version. (By analogy to SP1, SP2...)

Use the four OEMbios files of the OEM version to overwrite the same files in the retail version, and open the "SETUPPP.INI" in the simplified version with Notepad. Replace 000 with OEM.

(Not fully tested, the replacement of "SETUPPP.INI" may not work, but "SETUPPP.INI" has been cracked abroad. Just use Notepad to replace "SETUPPP.INI" in the corresponding retail version. After opening, replace the content after "Pid=" with "82503OEM" to apply to any manufacturer's OEM)

2. Use the simplified retail version to create a simplified VOL version.

(1) Create the original VOL.

Without the "dpcdll.dl_, Pidgen.dll" of the original VOL, I don't have the ability to build it.

(2). Create SP2 version of VOL.

Use WinRAR to open the official SP2 upgrade package, release the following two files: "ipseldpc.dl_, ipselPid.dll", rename "ipseldpc.dl_" to "dpcdll.dl_", and change "ipselPid. dll" to "Pidgen.dll", then overwrite the above two renamed files and the four OEMbios files in the English VOL version with the SP2-enabled simplified retail version of Windows XP, and then replace the "SETUPPP.INI" inside "Modify it and change the content after "Pid=" to: "51883270".

Foreign countries have cracked "SETUPPP.INI", and the three common "Pids" are:

Retail: 51882335;

O E M: 82503OEM;

p>

V O L: 51883270.

OK The build was successful and the test was successful. It is temporarily named "Windows XP Beijing Government VLK Integrated SP2 Version".

(3) Create SP1 version of VOL.

Why create the SP2 version of VOL first, and then create the SP1 version of VOL? Don’t be afraid of your jokes and failure to build!

Analysis of the reasons: Comparing the built SP1 with the Shanghai government version, it was found that two key files "licdll.dl_, winlogon.ex_" are inconsistent. Use the Shanghai version "licdll.dl_, winlogon.ex_" After replacement, the build was successful! It is also because of these two files that the Shanghai version cannot hit SP1 again, because after hitting SP1 again, these two files are replaced by these two files in the official SP1 upgrade package, which means that the official SP1 upgrade package does not support VOL. However, what is gratifying is that the official SP2 upgrade package already supports VOL. From this perspective, the Shanghai government version may be real, or there is a real VOL version in China now. (So ??I think it is impossible to find the original simplified VOL that has not been upgraded to SP1. I did another test, replacing the files with the same name in SP1 with the two files of the Shanghai version, and releasing "licdll.dl_" licdll.dll" covers the file with the same name, and the perfect SP1 upgrade package can be used to re-upgrade all simplified Windows "It was created by experts, then these two files are also perfectly created. However, the biggest doubt about the Shanghai Government version is that it integrates the Java virtual machine.)

(4) Create the SP3 version of VOL.

Haha~~, wait until SP3 is released and build it yourself!

2. Regarding the authenticity of Shanghai VOL:

Microsoft value-added services prove that Shanghai VOL is not cracked, and OEM is not as good as VOL.

Microsoft's genuine Windows Security patch upgrade.

I am using Shanghai Windows XP VOL. Today I went online to download value-added software. I found a prompt saying that my version is VOL, but the VLK is old and has been leaked. It requires me to buy another VLK number. Or if you are a genuine user, ask the company for a new VLK number. Through the above conversation, I can conclude that there is VOL in China, and it is not all modified from the English version. At least mine is. Next I will I used a four-in-one number calculator to calculate a VLK, then used a number changer to change the VLK. Then I went to the Microsoft website and it was prompted to download value-added software. It seems that the calculated VLK number can still be used

This is a strong proof that Shanghai Windows XP VOL is the real VOL version. In addition, Microsoft's website also states that there is a VOL version in Chinese.

If it is a modified English version of VOL, then when downloading value-added software from Microsoft China, there will be no prompt saying that my version is a VOL version, because if it is a modified version of the English VOL, it will not be available on Microsoft China. It is impossible for a prompt to appear on the Chinese page to acknowledge that my Chinese version is a genuine VOL.

Chinese VOL starts from SP1, and there is no version without SP integration.

The four-in-one calculator may have been made by Bill Gates to allow all Chinese people to use pirated versions!

I tried changing the BIOS to see if the Lenovo version can upgrade the value-added service. Note: What was changed was the BIOS, not the DMI. Lenovo borrowed a neighbor’s new standard original version of Windows XP, downloaded the value-added software from Microsoft, and entered When verifying this step, it prompts you to enter the serial number behind the OEM version of the computer case. I don’t have it, so I can’t enjoy the value-added. From this point of view, the perfect Windows XP version is the retail original + online activation 1.0 and VOL Shanghai version. This is There should be fewer netizens looking for OEM Windows XP online.

Also: After testing, Windows XP OEM can also use value-added services by using a "four-in-one calculator" to calculate the number of the "011 field", which is the VLK number. The method is simple. After reading the previous article, you should be able to try it yourself.

Regarding Shanghai VOL SP1, there will be problems if you install SP1 again. This is not a reason to prove that Shanghai VOL SP1 is cracked, because for China, Microsoft only released VOL SP1, and there is no non-integrated VOL. There is another online The downloaded SP1 does not support the VOL version that has integrated SP1, but SP2 is fully supported. This version has a virtual machine, but SP1a does not. Some people say that this version is cracked because it is suspicious. In fact, it was the earliest version. The SP1 without a has an integrated virtual machine, but the SP1a does not.

Also: Shanghai VOL is the real original version, but most of the ones circulating on the Internet are modified with the English version. If you find the original version of Shanghai VOL, this is the best. There are also Chinese VOLs with SP1 is all integrated, and the Chinese VOL version released by Microsoft MSDN and integrated with SP2 has also been released. It can be downloaded on the JUJU forum. However, I still love integrating SP2 personally. I will cherish it more after experiencing it, haha.

3. Regarding activation issues:

Since the activation mechanism used by SP2 and SP1 is different from that of the original Windows XP, and the calculator is for the original Windows XP, if you use a four-in-one If you install the original Windows XP, activate it and then upgrade, you can activate it perfectly. However, if you install Windows XP with integrated SP, you will not be able to activate it because the activation mechanism has changed. In this case, you can use the online activation program of the Microsoft Crack Center to achieve perfect activation. activation. In addition, for those who pursue non-perfectionism, as long as it can be used normally, there are the following activation methods:

(1) Use "one-step activation" software, but this type of software, These are cracked software. They usually replace the original files with cracked files or load a program when booting to prevent Windows XP activation prompts. In short, this type of software is the most unreliable and has an impact on the system. , compared to the method described below of using VOL files to replace retail version of Windows Discover and block, for example, the "One-Step Activation" program is a pseudo-activation program. After you activate it, you will be prompted to activate again after a period of time, and ultimately your system cannot be activated. The result is that the activation period expires and the system is blocked. Locked.

(2) Or go to the Windows upgrade website provided by Shanghai Jiaotong University. It can automatically replace your files with the original files of VOL, and then activate: pirated and pirated Windows XP. Just go to the Windows XP update website of Shanghai Jiaotong University. It can become genuine. I accidentally went to the Windows update website of Shanghai Jiaotong University. The speed is faster than that of MS. It is updated simultaneously. It will also prompt you that if it is pirated, it will give you the serial number of VLK. It is quite strange.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University Windows Update automatic update service:

The implementation principle is the same as what I mentioned below, which is nothing more than replacing the corresponding files of pirated Windows XP with the original files of VOL.

3. Replace it with the original VOL file yourself

4. Use the "four-in-one number calculator" to calculate the number, use the "number changer" to change the number, and use "online activation" "Activate, this is the most perfect method, without changing a single byte.

Note: Choose one of the above four methods.

In addition, the downloaded VOL must be installed using the number calculated by the "four-in-one calculator", because Microsoft Some of the leaked VLK numbers have been blocked, so even if you are a VOL activation-free version, you cannot upgrade online, only the serial number is blocked.

Finally, let’s introduce three activation-related tools:

1. “Four-in-one calculator”: It is said to be a gift from Bill Gates to the Chinese for the purpose of We want all Chinese people to use the genuine version and use it to calculate numbers. It is fast and has a 100% hit rate. Compared with the old-fashioned number calculator, which takes several hours to calculate a number, I can get the result in one second with this one. I have never encountered an account that cannot be activated, but there is a possibility that your account has been calculated and used by someone else first. Although the chance is small, it is still possible. In this case, you will need to use the number changer below.

2. "Number Changer": If you use the number calculator to calculate the number and find that it cannot be activated after installing the system, this is because your number is used by someone else. If you run the number change at this time, the number will be calculated separately. Just change the number and activate it.

3. "Online activation": Since the activation mechanisms of the original version of Windows XP and the version with integrated SP are different, this is why some people can achieve activation by calculating numbers, installing the original version, activating and then upgrading the SP. For the purpose of using the integrated SP version of Windows XP, activation after installation or counting first, installing the original version, installing SP, and finally activating these methods cannot be activated. Let’s briefly talk about the principle of online activation: There are two files in Windows XP that record the current version, whether it is the original version or the one with integrated SP. Online activation uses these two files in the original version of Windows XP to replace the two files after installing SP. This file makes Microsoft think it is the original version and activate it according to the original activation mechanism. After activation, the online activation program will replace the two replaced files. In other words, using this method is the most perfect activation method.
