I had some computer problems a few years ago and a nice guy who installed my
cable offered to take my computer home and work on it. I was using XP Home
edition at the time. When he brought it back, he had fixed it up, adding some
software in the meantime, as well as upgrading my OS to Windows XP
Professional. I thought that was very nice, but now when I try to download
SP2, I get an error message stating that I may not have an authentic copy
running. When I try to use the Validation Assistant, a message pops up that
says the validation assistant failed to run properly. please validate that
you are running a supported operating system and allow Active X to run. I've
checked both things out and they should fit the criteria. I'm wondering if my
OS is not genuine. I have the PID #. Can anyone help me with this?
