  Hello Mr. Stoehr,
  
  please refer to the link below and run the MGA Diagnostics tool:

   

  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

   

  You will be prompted to either “Run” or “Save” the tool. Choose to “Run” the tool and follow the on-screen prompts. You will receive an “Internet Explorer-Security Warning” dialog box for the “Windows Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool”; you must choose to “Run” this tool when prompted.

   

  Once you are presented with the Diagnostics tool choose “Continue” to run the diagnostic report. If the “RESOLVE” button is available after running the diagnostics, please click “RESOLVE” to allow the diagnostic tool to attempt a repair.

   

  1.      After running the MGA Diagnostic tool, click on the “Windows” tab and then click on “Copy”.

  2.      Please return to this post and “Paste” the results here for additional review.

   

  Next look on the computer itself, in the documentation you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).  If you have one, tell us about the COA.  Tell us:

  1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

  2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

  3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

  4.  DO NOT post the full Product Key that may be printed on the CoA.
  
  5.  Windows retail packaging has the CoA on the retail package boxtop, but the Product Key is printed on the inner folder on a yellow-orange label.
  

  Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

   

  NOTE: The data collected with the Genuine Diagnostics Tool does NOT contain any information that can personally identify you and can be fully reviewed, by you, before being posted.

  Interestingly, the below mentioned product key (Windows Product Key: *****-*****-3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3J) does not match the actual key I have at all.  Did my key get changed somehow?

  Hello Mr. Stoehr,
  
  What about the rest of your "homework"?  ;-)
  
  

  "Next look on the computer itself, in the documentation you received with the computer or with your retail purchase of Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).  If you have one, tell us about the COA.  Tell us:

  1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

  2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

  3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

  4.  DO NOT post the full Product Key that may be printed on the CoA.
  
  5.  Windows retail packaging has the CoA on the retail package boxtop, but the Product Key is printed on the inner folder on a yellow-orange label.
  

  Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx"
  
  
  I norticed something in the following snippet of info from the report:
  

   OGA Data-->
  Office Status: 100 Genuine
  Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage - 100 Genuine
  OGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002
  Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002
  Office Diagnostics: 025D1FF3-230-1_E2AD56EA-765-d003_E2AD56EA-766-0_E2AD56EA-134-80004005
  
  Pid>54185-640-0867867-17139</Pid><PidType>14</PidType
  
  Your computer has an installation of "Office XP Pro with Front Page" on it, and the mgadiag report shows that it is Genuine.  We know that Office XP with Front Page is a very widely pirated type of Volume Licesning edition of Office XP Pro, and we can see by the "640" value in the PID value and by the Pid type value of 14 that this is a Volume Licensing installation.
  
  Regardless of whether they show up in the diagnistcs as Genuine, Volume licenses are only properly used by those who are legitimately authorized to use the software as directed by the curent licnese holder

  Thanks for the quick response!  There was no option for me to resolve, so I couldn't do anything.
  
  I have the original CDs I bought directly from Indiana University while I was a student.  I didn't buy them with a computer.  About a year ago, the first time I got hounded by windows authenticity software, I called the University and asked them if my copies were still valid.  They said that they were certainly valid and gave me an updated product key for XP pro.
  
  I have the original CDs for both XP pro and Office XP pro.  Both seem to have been produced by Indiana University.
  
  Where should I go from here?
  
  Thank you again!
