  further to the above,  when I douple checked the operating system it said the download was for XP even though microsoft directed me there.   (I run vista). 
  
  Can't find one for vista.
  
  As an aside I registered it all when I got the HP box.
  
  Is it mre or is everything you touch in windows getting more complicated and difficult to use?

  Actually it is not off topic, I was trying to install office after a computer crash and getting a new base.  Microsoft site pointed me to the program and said download.   When I looked back later it said XP only.  I think your reply is high handed.

  Which office program were you trying to download onto your Vista machine?
  
  Please try to run the Windows Genuine Advantage tool from here again:
  http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx?displaylang=en
  
  
  This forum is for Windows Genuine Advantage (OGA) validation or Notifier issue support.
  
  

  If you need general support with Windows Vista you should visit the Windows Vista community site
  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/community/default.mspx

  There you will find a link to the Windows Vista newsgroups
  http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.mspx

  The TechNet forums covers general Vista questions

  or VIsta Setup Forum:

  We do not provide support for Product Activation, Windows Install or any other issue not directly related to WGA on Windows XP. Nor can we answer licensing questions.

  Michaelv123,
  
  The error message may be the result of trying to install and run the WGA tool on Vista.  Vista's WGA utility is built into the OS and is not really intended to be run separately.
  
  You should be able to validate both Windows and Office normally by clicking on the buttons in the upper right at this web page:
  www.microsoft.com/genuine
  
  Vista should validate all the time, while Office has to be installed and then activated in order to validate.
  
  Post back either here or in the Vista Validation forum if you have further questions or run into any more problems.
