Some people don't want to upgrade to SP1 or SP2 for lots of reasons, but some software requires that you have either one installed.

Fear not!
These four simple steps will trick your computer/software into thinking SP1 / SP2 is installed.

1. Open Regedit [Start/Run/regedit]

2. Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControlW indows"

3. Create a new DWORD value "CSDVersion"

4. Set the data of CSDVersion to "0x100" to fake SP1, or "0x200" to fake SP2.
[Enter all values without "Quote Marks"]
