im using win2k3 and i install a lot of software. the problem is that many of them is locked for one OS. to check the OS version, they look at the Windows NT\current version and control\productoptions keys. if you modify these keys, windows detects it and wont boot. is there any way I can modify it so i can fake that its a xp sp2?

to answer your question, yes. However, it's illegal and its not only a violation against Microsoft and the software your trying to install but its also a violation against the forum rules here at MSFN.

Anyway, why bother? 2003 is a server OS and should only be used for server apps. Why dont you just use XP?
