The Windows Genuine Advantage seems to cause problems
for some people.
This site has some good information and offers several
ways to resolve it.
If you receive “This copy of Windows is not genuine”
when trying to update, while using the Windows Genuine
Advantage validation process, then the notification
messages will appear at various places and times. If it
found that the copy of Windows XP is not genuine, or
simply failed the Windows Genuine Advantage validation
process, then the notification messages will appear at
various places and times.
We don't know how long this information will stay online
about WGA.
Several people wrote us and said the "Third Method"
works perfectly however we suggest you purchase a
genuine copy of Windows. |
