Something strange happened with both the Windows validation and WGA validation a few days ago. See, I have reinstalled Windows XP Professional more than once (on the same PC, around 5 times), and have never had any sort of validation problem, until now. I tried to use Microsoft Update and failed due to WGA validation not going through. This is normal, I guess, since the product key that I have used each time without complication suddenly refused to pass, saying that the times you can activate Windows with the key have been exceeded (message number 45092). What to do? I tried to validate by phone, to no avail (no answer?). Surely there must be an easier way.
Here are the results for the Genuine Advantage diagnostics...
