I have yet to validate my copy of Windows XP
I entered the product key and the message read error "the product key used to activate Windows on your PC is a volume license key that has been blocked by Microsoft." What can I do now? Is it a way Microsoft forces me to buy Windows 7 or is it 8?
BaltimoreCurtis
A Volume license key is used by businesses and not to private users. You must use the retail or OEM license key (which is usually on a sticker on your machine).
If you do not then unfortunately you will need to purchase a new copy of Windows.
I hope this helps.

My race of the used laptop win xp pro, I have MOM who bought her company when they all upgraded and got again. It has never included a Win xp pro disk (it doesn't even have a disk drive, I have to hang it on an external disk drive) but it has the license key (original tag) on the underside. A few months ago, the hard drive failed and crashed. I had a friend replace the hard drive. To get it up and running, that it must connect to a personal computer running win xp pro. Reloaded all through his computer, I guess that copied to mine? The problem is now media played just ran an update/upgrade to wmp 11 and now I get a message "validate your copy of windows" and Media Player does not work... When I go to real glass site enter key there is no place to do that, he just wants me to buy Win 7 & that is going to happen, what can I do? Please keep in mind, I'm completely broke and a stupid computer. I need the instructions of baby-talk, clear and explicit. Seriously, 5 years more about these things I do, help Pleeeease LOL!

Why Windows Media Player will not validate my copy genuine Windows to upgrade to version 11?
I had a problem with a new MP3 player that would produce an error in WMP whenever I tried to synchronize with him so I went to upgrade to version 11 of WMP, but now I don't have access to the program at all because it will not be validated to complete installation despite my copy of windows is genuine (I even checked this with MS directly) & will not remove WMP version 11 to allow me to return to my previous version 10 so I have no access to the program or my libararies to music, I've built. How can I get the validation complete on an older albein but authentic version of windows so I can use this program once again?

original title: How can I activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional?
Hello
I wonder if there is another way to activate my genuine copy of Windows XP Professional, because when I try to activate via the activate Windows
Assistant, all I get is a message saying that the 'online activation could not be completed at this time. "
Its weird because this is the first time I met this kind of problem after format and do a clean install of Windows XP in which, incidentally, I do
every year since 2006. (This is to keep my computer and working properly).
And also, if I tried to validate my copy of Windows XP by using Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 8, but I keep getting "Validation failed".
Any ideas what could possibly cause this? coz I already formatted my computer three times since yesterday in the hope that it could solve the problem, but with no luck.
I hope someone could help me with this.
Thank you and happy holidays to all.
See you soon!

Please help us, but it seems to be a problem with the end of Microsoft after all. Perhaps, they were low maintenance, when I tried to activate my Windows XP Pro yesterday.
