Having trouble validating Windows XP Pro. My computer originally had Windows XP home install by the manufacturer. It was fine for many years, but was recently destroyed by malware. The problem was I did not have the original CD of Windows XP Home. The manufacturer would not supply a replacement XP Home CD as they said they are no longer supporting XP this way. My system cannot handle Windows 7. So, I bought Windows XP Pro from someone else to replace the damaged Home version, which has now been completed wiped from the computer. I believe that the XP Pro is a legitimate copy. It came sealed and has the CoA and product key. It came alone, without any associate hardware. BTW, I still have the original CoA sticker and product key from the XP Home, even if the software is now gone. The sticker is affixed to the computer. I did not have any trouble with the new XP Pro until I tired to install Windows Media Player 11, which triggered the WGA process. Below is the diagnostic report for the XP Pro validation issue:

Hello tentforp,

Here is a snippet of your mgadiag report:

The mgadiag report is telling us that your Dell Dimension 3000 computer has a retail licensed installation of XP Pro on it, but that the installation was done with an Invalid Product Key.

The status "Invalid Product Key" means that the Windows installation was done with an invalid Product Key made by a pirating program known as a Key Generator that mimics the formula used by Microsoft to generate product keys. The product key was NOT issued by Microsoft, making it Invalid.

This installation of Windows XP Pro was done with a retail CD, so can you confirm that the product you purchased came in a nice pretty glossy blue box that looks like it would be on the shelf in a retail store like Best Buy, Staples, etc? Was the Certificate of Authenticity on the boxtop of the retail box? Was there a glossy paperboard folder inside that held the CD, and on the back of the folder was there a yellow-orange label with the product key, and are these the last three groups of characters on that label DT73V-GGRDX-X7X76?

Could you also tell us about your conversation with Dell regarding requesting a replacement Operating System Reinstallation CD? This is the first we are hearing on the forum that Dell would not send someone a replacement CD. They do have a nominal charge to get the CD if you are out of warranty, but it has always been less than $15.

Did you try to request the CD from this link at Dell?
