    I have run the validation tool, but am still not able to validate my installation of XP PRO. I have gone into services and made sure cryptographic is up and running. It is sounding as though contacting Microsoft is my only option. My product is activated just not validated, what's with that?

    All is good. Removed all components from box and reinstalled xp pro. Seems as though mo/bo or something was shorting out on the case. I did do as instructed prior to removing all the components, thanks for the help. Not sure just what is shorting out, but at least it's a start. 

                                                                                                             Thanks Again
