    Which register code did you use?
    Also my understanding is that the OS must be X32 and SP3 versions....True?

    Waiting on iq180, which they are generally very prompt, but still have not received updates on friends PC via my post;

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\WindowsEmbedded\ProductVersion]
    "FeaturePackVersion"="SP3"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WEPOS]
    "Installed"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\WES]
    "Installed"=dword:00000000

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
    "Installed"=dword:00000001

    Cool

    Here are the correct steps to use this patch...

    This Windows Embedded POSReady was done for those that paid and us this type of XP (restaurant machine etc)and for those that have paid for updates still..(companies)

    ...I removed the unnecessary text between the top and bottom of this post...

    Once you have it as a reg file..double click it to run it . Done ...now check for updates .

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
    "Installed"=dword:00000001
    1) Open Notepad (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad)

    2) Copy the following into Notepad:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\PosReady]
    "Installed"=dword:00000001

    3)***Don't forget to save it, so you can find it later.***
    Save the file by choosing File>Save As>File Name:> Fix_XP_Updates.reg (in place of the *.txt)

    4) Double-Click on the "Fix_XP_Updates.reg" file. (Or Right-Click>Merge)
    . Confirm (Choose "YES")
    . Acknowledge (Choose "OK")

    5) The System should go back to Auto-Update from then on.
    You can force the system to update by going to the Control Panel>Automatic Updates>Check for Updates Now.

    NOTE: If you are using Microsoft Security Essentials, It reports that the XP system is no longer supported and shows the RED warning colors, but it still receives updates.

    Been playing with with an older release and all was fine but slow. I update to 4G from 2, latest release and seen a 20-30% increase in speed.

    Haven't found a program that would not run, really haven't tried, as I am only using this computer for a specific program.

    For those of us that still need program, good to go.

    Windows was still applying updates; security, Kbs etc., until 7/29/2015 with this SP4 edition.
    Myself, I did have all Windows final editions but it was just for GP.

    All windows editions have just deleted. I have been running Win 10 for 3 months and all my programs are running fine. Hope all of you have the same luck.
