    Hi Jason,

      ok, my Product Key team has confirmed the key is Valid.  So since the key isn't the cause, we still need to figure out why you are receiving the Non-Genuine messaging as well as why the Validation site thinks the key is not Valid.

      The cause is either specific to your copy of Windows or a problem with our system.  Since I'm not seeing a bunch of unexplained non-genuine issues in the forum, my guess is it's specific to your Windows.  But to be sure (and to get your Windows back to a Genuine status) I have sent the email and phone number you provided to our escalation support engineers who will arrange for a good time to contact you and then work out the issue to resolution. 

      While I will most likely get a report on what was found to be the rootcause and fix, if you have the time, it would be nice to have you post your evaluation of the issue, as well.

    Thank you,

    Darin MS

    Hello gjarboni,

      I have checked the Product key being used in your XP and it is Valid and Genuine.  Would you go to http://microsoft.com/genuine/diag and click the Start Diagnotic buttom.  The page will confirm your XP is configured to allow Validation to occure.  It will also look for common issues that may effect XP's ability to validate.

      Once the Diagnostic page give you all green checkmarks, click the Validate Windows button and tell us what the result is.

    Thank you,

    Darin MS

    Okay, I went to the web page and my PC passes all of the diagnostics:

    Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Results

    Passed Active scripting allowed
    Passed Display images enabled
    Passed Computer time and date correct
    Passed Cookies enabled
    Passed ActiveX enabled
    Passed Windows validation ActiveX loaded
    Passed Office validation ActiveX loaded
    Passed Validation Self-help ActiveX loaded
    Passed Validation Self-help: Data.dat Corruption check
    Passed Validation Self-help: Cryptography check
    Passed Validation Self-help: Product Activation check

    But when I click, Validate Windows, I get this:

    This copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation.

    The product key found on this computer was not assigned by Microsoft.

    The Windows product key installed on this computer was not assigned by Microsoft. You may be a victim of counterfeit software. Learn more about getting genuine with the options below.

    I can provide you a PDF of the page if it would help.

    Thanks,

    Jason M.

    Hi Jason,

    Sorry for the wait.

    We need additional information but it's not the type of information you want to post in the Forum Specifically, I need the full product key for that copy of XP as well as your name and phone number (in case we need to have a Tech call you).

      Would you send the information to: wgatemp1 @ hotmail . com (remove spaces)

    NOTE: The reason I have asked you to mail a Hotmail account is because if I posted my microsoft email (or asked you to post your email), we would get spammed to death.

    Thank you,

    Darin MS

    Okay, I sent the information to the email address above two days ago. Let me know if you need anything else.

    Okay, this is very late, but the problem ended up being with the Product Key. I was sent a  new key and reinstalled and all was well.
