Windows XP Validation - FAILURE

Question
-
Hi I added memory to old PC with Xp which has been running for years.
This required validation - which I did successfully.
Today XP started up requesting validation. I have followed ALL steps on MS Knowledge Base 916247 including changing XP keys (the response I get is that that is the current key in use).
I run diagnostic validation tool and keep being returned to validate or buy windows 7.
I get NO error messages - XP just does not validate.
I now have three days left to validate ! Help !

Activation and validation are two very different things – and you are actually talking about Activation.You need to activate by telephone – when the automated service asks which service you require, do NOT respond. this should force an operator to pick up, who can deal with your problem.
