Counterfeited Program

[Guest]

Hello....please help me!!! I bought a computer privately with Windows XP
Professional already installed. It worked great for the first month but now
I get a message saying I may be the victim of Program Counterfeitting. I
have a blue star in the bottom right of my task bar and can't get updates.
How do I find out more about this and what can I do about it?????

"See your reseller and ask for genuine Microsoft software, using the report
provided during the validation session for support. The report explains why
your system was unable to validate and provides instructions for further
follow-up."

"Validation Failure: What If My Microsoft Software is Not Genuine?"

Not a completely correct question. Most all of the software is "Genuine"
(unmodified), it's just the keys that are fakes...

Playing with semantics won't solve your problem.

No problems here... Just an observation on my part...
