As most people know, Windows XP is out of support from Microsoft. For those die hard users that still use XP you can enable XP updates by making the Windows Update client think that the computer is Windows XP Embedded. To do this simply add/change your registry and check once again for updates. For the change in the registry, you will need to either change it manually, or create a registry file. To create a registry file, open Notepad and copy and paste the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
Then save the file. Once saved, rename the file extension from .txt to .reg. Then double click the file and say yes to the dialog.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
Then save the file. Once saved, rename the file extension from .txt to .reg. Then double click the file and say yes to the dialog.
