    I am getting very frustrated.  Every morning I turn on my computer and the updates fail to install.  I attempted the FixIt thing, but that says no problems.  I try to run the Genuine Windows Validation but it says:

    This version of the Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool is no longer supported.  Please download the newest version and ensure that your system clock is accurate.

    My clock is accurate.

    Please provide some advise on how I can move forward because I can't keep doing this every morning.

    You MUST use Internet Explorer (32-bit) when attempting anything that requires validation - try again using IE for the access to the download.

    I am using IE.  I even changed it to my default to make this work.  Not sure if there is an IE non-32-bit that perhaps I am using.  Version is 9.0.8.

    There is 32-bit and 64-bit IE.

    32-bit is usually the default.

    If you click on the 'cog' for the Tools list, and click on About Internet Explorer - what does it say in the Version line? - if it finishes '64-bit edition' the obviously it's the 64-bit version. If it doesn't then it's 32-bit.

    If you click on the Start button and type

    iexplore

    in the Search box, the 32-bit version should be found by default unde 'Programs' - click on that to start it.

    Otherwise, in Windows Explorer, navigate to

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

    and double-click on that.

    Doesn't say 64-bit.  I tried the other approach regardless and still the same problems...tool is no longer supported.

    So using 32-bit, IE is default, and clock is accurate.  Any other suggestions?

    Attempt validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate - if it fails, see what the diagnostics have to say at www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag .

    Then post an MGADiag report.

    To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
    (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
     Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
     To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
      - **in your own thread**, please

    Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

    There's nothing amiss in the report.

    What are you attempting to download that requires validation?

    You say that you have to 'do this every morning' - WHAT do you have to do?

    If your problem is with Updates repeatedly installing, or failing to install, then you should repost in the more appropriate Answers forums at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update

    It seems like a combo problem.  Windows updates fail.  So they say to try install manually.  But to do that I need to use Validation tool.  Which won't work.  I just want it all to go away.

    I'd do the following after reposting your problem in the Answers forums, while you wait for a response (don't forget to include essential details about which updates are getting installed, and the error messages you get)

     

    Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

     

     At the Command prompt, type

     CHKDSK C: /R

     and hit the Enter key.

     

     You will be told that the drive is locked,

     and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.

     The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size  of the drive, so be patient!

     After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally  (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC.

     

     SFC -System File Checker - Instructions

    Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories

    Right-click on the Command Prompt entry

    Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.

     At the Command prompt, type

     SFC /SCANNOW

     and hit the Enter key

     

     Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

     Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.

     

    Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

    I'm experiencing this problem too. 

    I've tried downloading and running the validation tool on 3 different computers with 3 different Windows operating systems (WinXP Professional, Win7 Professional, and Windows Vista Home Basic). 

    All three systems are returning the same error message, "This version of the Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool is no longer supported.  Please download the newest version and ensure that your system clock is accurate." 

    All 3 OSes are 32-bit and I'm using Internet Explorer.  Why IE makes a difference is beyond me since I'm downloading and running the validation tool.  Therefore, IE should have nothing to do with running of the validation tool.

    Also, yes, ActiveX is disabled on all 3 systems.  And, no, I don't want to enable ActiveX. 

    I've previously used the validation tool on both the WinXP and Win7 systems without any issues.
