I keep d/l'ing it and installing it and it just keeps coming back as needing to be done.

View 15 Replies View RelatedI recently got my free copy of Vista from the PowerTogether thing, and installed it on my primary hard drive. I then installed hacked XP Home on my secondary drive. The hacked copy I have includes a program that somehow removes the WPA thing, so that Windows thinks I have validated my copy. I have used this same disc before, and it has worked great. However, this time whenever I boot into XP it says I have X days remaining to activate my copy. If I run the WPA kill program off the disc, the balloon says that I have already activated, but as soon as I reboot it goes back to saying X days.
Can anyone help me with this?

I am running XP
Keeps popping up, then downloads and wont install.
I dont know if you can or even want to help with my problem. I purchased a second hand laptop which had XP installed. The copy of windows was legitimately installed by the Tertiary Institution the laptop was purchased from. Some time after I purchased it, I did an update, it came up with Failure to Pass Validation warning. I rang Microsoft and the Techncian who was sympathetic to my cause, told me how to remove this validation warning which I did. A couple of years later, again after an update the same warning that it failed validation. again I rang Microsoft and re-explained to the representative. He told me, it (the validation failure warning ) couldn't be removed from Service pack 2, This is NOT correct as the first technician told me how to do just that. As I bought the laptop in good faith I feel Microsoft has invaded my computer and installed a spam message on it. Any ideas how to remove it?
