• Windows Genuine Advantage problem, says this is not the correct version

  I am trying to download windows DVD maker or windows 7, but I came across some very irritating errors and I am very angry and annoyed.

  The first problem is, the "Windows Genuine Advantage tool" said that it is not the correct version, even though it has been downloaded from the microsoft Web site, photo of the error is here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/818/wgaerror.png/

  My data from the computer (operating system, etc.): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/pcinfoc.png/

  I also ran the "Windows Genuine Advantage Diagnostic tool', here are the results: http://www.mediafire.com/?99vwm612pmvvkmd

  The second problem is, I tried to run the "Windows Genuine Advantage tool' through control ActiveX in Internet Explorer 9, but after I clicked to install the"Windows Genuine Advantage tool', nothing happened.

  Thanks for posting a solution as soon as POSSIBLE

  You MUST use Internet Explorer for any process involving the Validation.

  You'll be rewuired first to install an ActiveX control, and in the case of wof Windows 7, Windows Activation Technologies update (if not already installed).

  Once they are properly installed, then the system should automatically refresh the page, and the continue button should implement a download button.

  Note that the use of some security software or settings may mean that the serveer is unable to work that your operating system and the browser is really - with the results that it tries to treat IE9 on Win7 as FireFox on XP - with the results you see.

• 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my version of Windows XP using the Windows Genuine Advantage that comes back and tells me that the tool itself is outdated.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  I try validation again, but he seeks only on the MS downloads version itself which of course, is outdated to me in an endless loop.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and previously posted a version of Windows XP (with updates to date) - this is the Windows Genuine Advantage, which is obsolete.

• 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.

  Hello

  I have the professional edition of Windows 7 N. This comes without Windows Media Player and must be installed separately. Whenever I download the package (KB968211) I have to go through the validation tool first (GenuineCheck.exe) However, after you run the tool, I get the following message "this version of Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool is no longer supported. Please download the latest version and make sure that your system clock is accurate.
  I can't find a newer version
  Can anyone help?

  Because step 3 says that it is authentic, I don't see why step 5 problems.

  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  The problem is that MS broke pages when they 'appointed' site for Win8 - and have yet to find how to solve this problem (or are there delay until the launch date).

  It is not your computer or your problem - it is to them (and they have not yet publicly acknowledge it's a problem as far as I know!)

  If all goes well, he'll be fixed one way or another this week - but don't hold your breath!

• "More recent version Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool"

  Why do we have this type of problem when there is no help available?  I was trying to download WinHLP32.exe for Win7 64 bit and was sent to use the WGA validation tool that does not any longer, see below.

  I quote:

  "This version of the Windows Genuine Advantage validation tool is no longer supported.  Please download the latest version and make sure that your system clock is accurate.

  Not able to find any 'new' version of the WGA validation tool.  All searches bring back me to the same place that is no longer valid.  My system is GRAM Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit on an i3 Intel Dell Inspiron 1564 2.13 GHz processor and 4.  It has been repeatedly validated by Microsoft for 2.5 years and regularly updated updated by Microsoft.  Can not more valid than.  Your validation tool is no longer valid and there is not a link anywhere that can be found to acquire a new validation tool.

  Are you sure you are valid?  How would we know you are. . or not?

  I await your return

  When you do anything that requires validation, you MUST use Internet Explorer 32-bit version - not the 64-bit version and not Firsfox/Chrome.

  You MUST use Internet Explorer (32-bit) when you access downloads requiring validation.

  Your Microsoft Office installation is a counterfeit - being based on a blocked Volume license key. You must uninstall it and buy a legal copy.

  What browser do you use to download and run any validation?  Even if you're a machine 64-bit by default IE 8 or 9 should be the 32-bit version.  This is the version that runs on 64-bit computers by default.  If you use this version, then the problems would disappear.

• 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?

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  [1] full Disclosure: the difficulty operating in AGGRESSIVE mode will remove your update history but not list the updates installed in Add/Remove programs.

  After many months of Windows & Office updates there is failure of the last update, installation of Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB949810) - OGA notice 2.0.0048.0. Since of attempts by Windows updates to install OGA 2.0.0048.0 reviews all the time, but it fails with one "Installation failed" message in the error log.

  I already tried to install notice of OGA 2.0.0048.1.0 by folloing the instruction provided here:
  http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/OfficeInstall/thread/3f9f11fa-b4c8-436C-9c32-d696dbc8cf15

  In addition, I tried running manual setup, after I disabled the scanner in real-time of the Norman Virus Control. No other AV tool is installed.

  KB949810 is an optional update. As long as you have been able to validate your installation of Office by clicking on the button post Office on thishttp://www.microsoft.com/genuine/page, do not hesitate to hide KB949810.

• 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".
