Genuine Windows License

    My copy of Windows XP pro is not genuine, and to my annoyance microsoft keep reminding me of this through lots and lots of pop up messages and I also cannot upgrade my internet explorer or media player, and I also reckon this is the cause of a number of other issues on my PC.........

    Anyway, whenever I try to solve this issue Microsoft first tries to run the Windows "Genuine Advantage Validation Tool", but the problem is it cannot run because : Your Web browser may not configured to run the components or scripts required by the genuine Windows validation process - please try this alternate method. When I try the alternate method the same thing happens, and its just never ending and bringing me absolutely nowhere. My browser does not have the activeX control required by the validation process and where I get this I do not know!

    Can someone out there please help :confused:

    Read the charter - the bit about software you own, come back when you have a copy of windows.

    un-licensed software just means unfair competition to all software providers
    there are plenty of lower cost alternatives, you could even buy second hand licenses on eBay
    so no excuse.

    The only way to fix it is to buy a legit copy of Windows.

    (In other words, we're here to discuss software you have a valid license for, not software a man in a mac in the pub gave you for a pint and a fondle.)
