Is there anyway to "Trick" Windows Server 2003 to make it think it is Windows XP Pro? So I can install apps that only work in XP Pro? Like AVG, Etc.?

As others in this thread have pointed out, Server 2003 is exactly that... A server. Games and certain apps will not run on this OS because it was not designed for that purpose.

Rather than searching for an impossible positive answer to this question, why not format and install a LEGAL version of XP Pro. I am sure someone who has Server legitimatly would not ask such a pointless question.

I am not sure this is allowed on Neowin. I am also not sure that <removed> which more tweaks system speed and hidden settings does this. There is also <removed> etc, and there is a version for 2003 but i dont remember seeing any setting which allows this kind of system wide change through the 2003 OS.

The bottom line is, that 2003 was not built for this purpose and XP was. Use XP... that simple!
