  Ignition,

  Please follow these steps for assistance:

  Step 1 is to run the utility at this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012, then click the Windows tab, click the "Copy" button, then paste the report into a response in this thread.

  Step 2 is to look on the computer or with the materials you received with the computer or with Windows to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticty (COA).  If you have one, tell us about the COA.  Tell us:

  1.  What edition of Windows XP is it for, Home, Pro, or Media Center, or another version of Windows?

  2.  Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?

  3.  Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?

  4.  DO NOT post the Product Key.

  Not sure what to look for?  See this page for reference:  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx

  I have downloaded XP SP2 but i can't install it without a "genuine" XP key code... when i test my computer it says i have a Volume key that has been blocked. I'm guessing this is becuase my dad took it to a shop about a year ago to fix it and they reinstalled xp with there disk? sound like good guess? anyway, i need SP2 to install becuase my zune software wont install without it... please someone else help me, becuase i've been told that you can install SP2 with a nonvalid key, but how?

  A "Blocked VLK" is a Volume License Key that is valid, but was licensed solely to a corporation or larger enterprise/business. Blocked VLK's are Product Keys that Microsoft has received consent from the original owner to block usage of. A VL Product Key is non-transferrable to individuals. In order to resolve your non-genuine licensing issue, please visit: www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on "Validate Windows". When validation fails, click on the Get Genuine button which will provide information on how to acquire a WGA Kit.

  Ignition,

  I was hoping the report would how that your computer was a name brand computer and that you would have reported tha the computer had a COA affixed to it....that way our advice would have been to just use the recovery or OS reinstallation CD and that would put back a licensed operating system onto the computer.

  If you have a full retail or OEM CD for Windows 98 or Me, you can use that as the basis for buying and installing an Upgrade license for XP Home Edition, which is the usually the least expensive way to get a genuine copy of XP Home.  I have seen them selling after rebate at the major USA electronics and office supply retailers for as low as $39.99.
