Please go to www.microsoft.com/genuine and click Validate Windows -
that should resync the WGA Validation files.

Afterward, please click Start, then Run, then type in "WGAtray.exe /b"
and click OK, then reboot.

If the above procedure does not resolve your issue:

Please follow this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure:

1. Download and run the MGA Diagnostic Tool:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012
2. After running the MGA Diagnostic Tool, click
on the "Windows" tab and then click on "Copy".

3. Next, visit the following website and create a post in the
"WGA Validation Problems" forum and paste the
results of the WGA Diagnostic Data in a detailed post.

4. A WGA troubleshooting specialist will analyze the data and
recommend an appropriate solution.
