XP reactivated again

NOTE - this is aimed at people who absolutely have to run XP with the enforced security requirements (eg old CAD-CAM machines) that you absolutely will have to enforce rigorously on any XP box.

We still have many testbenches running on Windows XP, and recently had issues getting an XP bench up and running again, mainly due to XP authentication not working properly anymore.

This is great. Will test at home with my old laptop.

Old Win3.1 games like Indiana Jones' Desktop Adventures... And Castle of the Winds! YAY!!!
And Dungeon Keeper 2... simply works the best under XP (and older).

I'm busy trying it out now. Reinstalled XP just to get a working display in Virtualbox, lol.

Will try out a keygen from this generator and see what happens.

 

[The_Librarian]

ugh, doesn't work for me

most probably because I'm using OEM media and not VLK media

Do post your failure/successes here.

Windows XP in 2023 is not a good idea
My laptop that @WAslayer gifted me goes apeshit when you connect to the internet

One site is WinWorldPC.com - got a lot of software goodies, especially OSes.

Hardware is iffy. eBay is your best bet, but.... still iffy.
