windows xp pro fails validate after reinstall

Question
-
I've had to reinstall xp pro several times since i've had my computer. Since the last reinstall (the third if i remember correctly), wga now says that my product key is invalid. I have a genuine CD and COA. Both the product key on my COA and system match. Since I paid full price for Pro I'd rather not have to pay again. Any ideas on what I can do.

Apkrause,
Having an invalid Volume Licensing installation of XP Pro along with a genuine-looking Certificate of Authenticity that has that same invalid Product Key printed on it is an indication that you may have been the victim of hi-quality counterfeit software.
Please compare the materials you received with the computer to see how they compare to the hi-quality counterfeits shows at this site: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/counterfeit.mspx
If they seem to be hi-quality counterfeits, you should submit them to MS by following the Get Genuine prompts. If MS determines that these are hi-quality counterfeits you may qualify for a free replacement.
Also your installation of Office 2003 Pro is likewise a nongenuine installation. MS has a companion program for Office that provides replacements for hi-quality counterfeits.

I'm currently looking into the possibility of it being a counterfeit. If so it is a pretty good one.
