How to get Windows Genuine Advantage?

MS has determined that my Windows XP SP3 (bought on eBay in 2009) has a "invalid product code".  I work with a clientele of MS for more than 2 weeks without satisfaction; They claim that if I buy Windows Genuine Advantage, I can load a new product Code without having to reload the entire OS.  Anyone know the path through this maze (to buy Windows Genuine Advantage)?  Is it all a myth that I wonder?

When you use the PC non genuine Windows XP, see Validate Windows for more information. Carey Frisch

  • Windows XP Professional said that he has failed the Windows Genuine Advantage test. But I called the Windows Activation and the officer confirmed that my product key is genuine. How can I make Windows genuine?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows XP Professional. I installed and activated Windows XP while I had an Internet connection. This went well. I then download Microsoft Security Essentials, who then informed me that my copy of Windows is maybe not authentic. Confused, I downloaded the WGA tool, who confirmed that my Windows XP was not authentic.

    The Microsoft product activation call and reading my product to a CSR key, he confirmed that the key was official and I have to contact Technical Support. But Tech Support costs a bit of money, and I'm only 15 years to be honest (Yes, I have a bit of technical knowledge).
    My question is this: is it possible that I can make genuine Windows? This problem is getting boring now. I tried to reinstall Windows XP and re - enter the product key (I tried an online activation and a phone).
    Thanks in advance.

  • After XP SP1 installation, activation of windows and upgrade to SP3, Microsoft Security Essentials said that I need to get Windows Genuine?

    My brother-in-law gave me his laptop Dell Latitude D610 to work on. It was loaded with virus and almost completely non-functional. I installed an old windows XP Home Edition SP1 upgrade disk (I had to insert my plu too Windows 98 disc) on it because I had no original disks supplied with the computer. I am therefore perfectly legal with that.  I installed it and I activated it until I went through updates. When I finished updates of service pack to download SP2 to the execution of the method to update to SP3. I tried to install Microsoft Security Essentials however it would not load and said I had to VALIDATE windows. I already got it activated prior to all other updates. How can I fix it? When I try to validate windows all I see is a white screen, so I can't go any further!  So basically I have 2 problems I need to validate (the computer says that Windows is already activated when I click on the button "Activate Windows"). And I get the white screen when I try to validate... Please help I know it's legal software, just old.

  • Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications stalls to "execution of process after installation.

    Hello.

    On a corporate network, with a licensed copy of Windows, I just finished installing a load of updates that a PC has missed in the last months or years.  To restart, a window titled "Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications".  I click Next and it works fine, up to 80%, then it hangs at "running the process after installation" and never finished.  It is present each time that I reboot and reconnect.

    How can I do complete, or stop to run to the log in?

    Thank you

    Steve.

    1. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    2. Restart then open IE (only) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Select CUSTOM and allow the analysis to be performed. If KB905474 is available now, deselect / uncheck and then hide it.

    NB: KB905474 may be listed in the optional software category on the left side. If an update of root certificate is listed there, also, install it to take full advantage of the integrated IE security.

    3. post a status report in response to this topic.

    PS: Are you "COMPUTER service" or SysAdmin for your company?

  • Prompt to install Windows Genuine Advantage

    Recently, I noticed that several Windows XP machines get invited to install the Windows Genuine Advantage software after being imaged.  I was wondering if there was a particular KB which makes this place.  I would like to avoid having to install this software on the systems in question because they are newly imaged machines that should already be corrected using WSUS.  I tried to search the WSUS server for patches that might be related to but found nothing referencing WGA or "Windows Genuine Advantage".

  • Obsolete Windows Genuine Advantage on the MS Site

    When trying to update Windows Media Player 11 on the MS site, I wonder to validate my version of Windows XP using the Windows Genuine Advantage that comes back and tells me that the tool itself is outdated.  I then go hunt down the latest version of the Windows Genuine Advantage tool and download it on the spot.  I try validation again, but he seeks only on the MS downloads version itself which of course, is outdated to me in an endless loop.  Not quite as definitely infinite that the MS Online Chat, but nevertheless, I always have Media Player 11 on my PC.

    Please understand this is a problem with not getting to the point of validation of my store bought, legitimate and previously posted a version of Windows XP (with updates to date) - this is the Windows Genuine Advantage, which is obsolete.
