Genuine Validation - Validatio For The OS

Aug 1, 2006

I have a brand new Dell desktop, entering the world of XP for the first time. I was never prompted for any kind of validatio for the OS, though I did fill out a survey-like thing that seemed to confirm that my Windows software is legit. However, I have read here at the forums about people who don't properly "activate" their XP within 30 days, only to have Windows not work for them afterwards.

Genuine Software Validation Thingy As Update

Aug 4, 2006

I do understand Redmond's desire to restrict updates to those with a genuine license, which I do have, but surely once it is downloaded and installed, that ought to get it done, no? I check for critical updates, the only thing that shows is this. I find it hard to believe that Win$ doesn't need one or more other critical updates pretty often. I keep d/l'ing it and installing it and it just keeps coming back as needing to be done.

Victim Of Software Counterfeiting - Not Pass Genuine Validation

Aug 13, 2009

This copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation. The product key found on this computer is not valid for use in your region. Began to appear after my friend returned home; his adult grand daughter had cared for his home, during his absence. Also, wallpaper is now black. Had been 1 of XP's standard wall papers. I can change it to an XP wallpaper, but after reboot, black wallpaper. My friend is unable to find his XP Pro CD; PC built by a family friend a few years ago. There is no COA on the computer [ exterior and interior surfaces ]. From my research, I have learned that the XP PID is frequently noted as to have been black listed.

"The particular Product Key you are using, which ends in 3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3J, is a widely pirated key, and it looks like it recently had a geographically block put on it to try to curb its use, which probably explains why it was showing as Genuine up until recently."

Installing Genuine Over Non-genuine - Involve Clean Install?

Jan 3, 2008

I'm using a computer that was built by a friend (really, I promise) who installed non-genuine XP in it. I've never been a fan of pirated software, but the computer was free, so what's a boy to do?

OK, so I've put up with all the "non-genuine" reminders from Redmond figuring it was my penance, but now I'm thinking I should move on up to Vista (mainly for Media Center). And yes, the hardware is up to it.

Meanwhile, I had installed a genuine copy of XP on my previous computer before receiving this one (I still have the disks). One install, one machine. So, can I just install that genuine XP over the non-genuine one?
