     Hi.  I found another thread with a similar issue, but when others asked similar questions in the same thread the kind person answering asked that they start a new thread to keep answers less confusing. 

    I have run the MGA Diagnostic tool and here are the results:

    I had been working on this computer, got rid of a different error (I think I got rid of it at least) but the WGA Notification error wouldn't go away so I backed up data and reinstalled XP yesterday.  Get back to the computer this morning and turn it on and it was just sitting here while I was looking to see what I was going to install next, and the error notification popped up again.  Help!

    Thank you.

    Morning Froglander,


    Thank you for visiting the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) program forum. I understand the inconvenience you are currently experiencing. We have seen numerous issues from customers who were provided a Volume License Key (VLK) on their computer that has either been blocked by Microsoft or generated by a fake product key code generator. WGA currently provides checks for these types of product keys and prompts the user to notify them of this situation. More invalid product keys are being identified daily and WGA is constantly refreshing its database with these newly identified product keys and immediately blocks them.

    Right now, your computer has a Volume License (VL) edition of XP Professional Volume edtion identified. The installation was done with a now-blocked Volume License Key (VLK) located on line 2. VLKs are blocked by Microsoft at the request of the original product key holder for various reasons such as the product key was lost, stolen, compromised, misused, or expired. Also, MS may have blocked the key if it notices a pattern of misuse, i.e., more installations of XP Professional Volume edtion  using that key than authorized.

    As a rule, VL editions of XP Professional Volume edtion should not be sold to individual consumers. Businesses, schools and governments normally use VL editions for flexibility in installing many computers.  Also, Volume Licenses for Windows XP is Upgrade licenses ONLY and cannot be used as the original or base license for a new computer.  Please ask your systems administrator to logon to the eOpen site (https://eopen.microsoft.com/EN/default.asp) and confirm what your company’s assigned VLK.  Sometimes how customers find themselves in this situation is that when their IT department was creating their VL image to be deployed to their desktops, they sometimes inadvertently use an incorrect product key because it was handy.

     

    This is why you were seeing the "Software Counterfeiting" messages on your computer, because the current installation of XP Professional Volume edtion  is an unauthorized installation.



    Take care,

    Dear Stephen Holm,

    I just check at https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/LicenseKeys/ExistingProductKeys.aspx and the key that was used is still listed there.

    Who/Where would i contact/check to resolve this issue

    And just to make sure I explained myself well enough, it's not that WGA comes up and says something is wrong, it is that I get a "<insert program name here> has encountered an error and must close" and then you have the option of sending an error report to Microsoft, etc.  And this is on a computer that I just reinstalled XP, installed computer specific drivers, installed updates from Microsoft Update and installed McAfee anti-virus software.

    Thanks.

    This is the error that I get when I turn the computer on.  And again, this is a fresh install of XP, drivers, updates and anti-virus software is all that is on here. 

    This is the error I keep getting:
