I suspect that you *really* mean WPA and not DRM, right?

(BTW, some Virtual Boxes and even Virtual Machines will not install the 
original XP but at the least only XP with Service Pack 2.)

Oh boy, I think that you are playing with fire ol' boy.

You don't seem to know the difference between VB and VM.

Do you mean VM as in what you stated in one of your first posts to mean 
*Virtual* *Box* (VB), which comes with Ubuntu and for which there is no 
need for a "crack",  or VM as in IBM's VM or VMWare's VM cracked version 
which may be found if one looks?

You sound like the posts from a person my wife came across a while back: 
that person quite openly posted in a public forum that she copies DVDs 
and sends them out to her friends so that they can discuss the fillums 
during their "fillum nights".

Oh boy, oh boy.....

Sheesh.....You can disable both in a normal installation of Windows XP 
any way.....

Hrumph.

Good luck.

(You're really kinda 'stumbling in the dark' about this whole thing 
aren't you? :-( )
