    I've had this computer for 2~3 years+ with windows XP and now it shows this error? Please help. I'm using a genuine windows xp thingy. I can't tell if it's a virus, but I know 100% that I did not illegally obtain a windows xp thingy. It's starting to get really annoying with all of these errors and BS that I get from microsoft, which is the reason why I plan to switch to Apple ASAP. But I'll need a computer until then, so please help me fix this problem!

    From your report:

    Windows License Type: Volume

    Validation Status: Invalid Product Key

    Unfortunately, you have a counterfeit Volume License product key installed.  Visit Genuine Microsoft Advantage and click on Validate Windows.  After validation fails, click on the Get Genuine button to learn how to acquire a WGA Kit.

    This doesn't make sense, I bought this copy myself. There is no way on earth that I pirated it or whatever. Do I have to pay to acquire a WGA Kit? This is ridiculous.


    Also, why on ____ does it show NOW? It's been 2+ years and it never EVER showed this notification. Is it possible that there is a virus? Right before I rebooted my computer (this is when it started to show these notifications) I was fixing the "Google bug" where it redirects all of my search engine searches. Then this problem came up.

     

    Help!

    by 'rebooted' do you mean reinstalled?
    Are you sure that you used the key that came with the disc?
    Where did you purchase the software from?

    Hello RyanHHH,

    Could you describe what you purchased?  If the materials you bought are high-quality counterfeits, Microsoft has a complimentary replacement program and if found to be high quality counterfeits, the bogus materials will be replaced for free.

    The Microsoft utility that Notifies you your installation of Windows (and Office if applicable) is Nongenuine is separate from Windows itself, so you may not have had it installed until recently.  If you went to Windows Updates trying to clear up your virus, that could be when the utility was installed.

    BTW, counterfeit copies of Windows quite often have malware embedded right onto the installation disc, so it's not surprising that your Windows installation is suffering from problems.

    I can confirm that the key used is not a valid key. Please see the posts from Noel and Dan.
