Question

I have upgraded from win2k to xp less than 1 year ago, and now I am getting the validation error. I have the actual xp prof. sticker on my pc with the oem product key. I don't understand why it won't validate. I have ran the wga tool, and here is the info. Any information would be very helpful.

Paisley49,
Thanks for the reply. Just another quick question. Would you happen to know if your compter happened to get repaired?
The reason I ask is mainly because, looking at the information above, it looks like this software is Original Equipment on a computer, meaning that it was supposed to come, pre-installed onto a PC, by a system builder (IE Dell, Gateway, IBM, etc). Does your CD Key that was attached to the CD Case Match with the product-key above?
Thanks,
Derrick

The computer came from Dell originally with windows 2000 professional installed, we purchased an upgrade to xp professional locally from a store, and installed it onto the pc.
If anything has changed on the computer hardware wise, it would be memory and maybe a video card.
When i installed the xp software from the retailer, i pulled the product id sticker off of the xp package and put it onto the pc. I am almost to the point of just going out and buying another copy of xp, and get this thing resolved.

Paisley49,
Please do not spend any more money just yet.
Generally, when the diagnostic tool shows that an XP installation has a blocked PID, this means that somewhere along the line there has been a report that the materials you purchased were lost or stolen.
Please see a very similar situation by poster "NoWhereMan" in this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=521872&SiteID=25
