I have a critical update that will not work. I keep
getting the message to contact an administrator. It says
the product key for microsoft service pack 1 express is
invalid. I was hoping someone could tell me how to correct
this. I have had this same computer for couple of years.
 
Greetings --

Are you trying to install Service Pack 1 and getting the
following:

You need to purchase and use a legitimate full copy of WinXP Pro
to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation, using the
new CD and Product Key.

Remember, you should also report whomever sold you the pirated
software to your local law enforcement agency.
