Hello this...,
Right now, the particular computer that generated this mgadiag report has a Volume Licensing edition of XP Pro installed (Line 10), and that installation was done with an Invalid Volume Licensing Key. Invalid VLKs are generated by pirating programs called "key generators" (keygen for short) that are designed to mimic the same formula that Microsoft uses to generate genuine Porduct Keys. However, since the Product Key is pirated and not generated by Microsoft, it is Invalid.As a rule, VL editions of XP should not be sold to individual consumers. Businesses, schools and gov'ts normally use VL editions for flexibility in installing many computers. Also, Volume Licenses are Upgrade Licenses only and cannot be sued as original or base licenses on a new computer.
This is why you were seeing the "software counterfeiting" messages on your computer, because the current installation of XP is an unauthorized installation.
Look on the computer or in the materials that came with your computer to see if you have a Certificate of Authenticity (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?
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? We would expect it to read Compaq or HPQ.
4. DO NOT post the full Product Key that may be on the CoA.
Not sure what to look for? Click here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx
Look closely at the exact CD that did this exact installation. Is the hologrammed label embedded within the plastic of the CD or is it a thin label on the top surface of the CD?
Put the CD in the computer and navigate to the \i386 folder, then look for the setupp.ini file, a small text file with two sections. Please copy and paste the last section in your reply to this message.
Thank you,
