Changing serial number on XP

As you all know the new SP1 comming in August will cause problems to who uses the Corporate version of XP Pro from the net.
I have changed two serial numbers os far but for some reason can not change mine. Here is the LOG file. Hope someone can figure it out for me.. ? Thanks

You have probably not used the Corp. Edition (This works only in Corp. Edition of Windows XP)

Well, then there is no other way. You will have to re-install your copy of Windows XP and try it again. (Because there is a chance of some files missing or have got corrupted)

You can try the method again:

It has worked for all the people I have talked to.

I have restored all XP protected files. Used MSCONFIG to clean boot and still can't get the activation screen to pop up. The log files shows a error but I just do not know enough about NT to figure out what it means.

The program that does not work is msoobe.exe
If I could get that to work I could do the rest..
