Unable To Understand Genuine Advantage Notification Tool 1.5.526.0?

Apr 25, 2006

This mandatory critical update was released today(April 25, 2006) at the Windows Updates site.Users of illegal or pirated copies of Windows XP - Microsoft announced that on Tuesday it will make Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) more bothersome than ever. A new update for WGA is now on the Windows Update website as a mandatory update. Once installed, your copy of Windows will be checked for validity.

If your Windows installation is found not to be genuine, Windows will display a message telling you that “This copy of Windows is not genuine.” Windows will check and display messages on every boot as well as once an hour (or so). The new WGA tool also puts an icon in your system tray if your copy of Windows is not genuine.

Win Genuine Advantage?

Sep 13, 2006

I replaced a cd writer for a friend and all went well. Of course I had to power down the machine & in so doing so there were 5 MS updates for SP2 that ran. The updates installed sucessfuly & then I was prompted to install MS Windows Genuine Advantage; no problem. However following the install of Windows Genuine Advantage a notification flag appeared stating that he does not have a legit copy of windows.

The system is an HP 520W purchased new a few years ago and came with XP installed. The system is up to date running XP SP2 with all updates. Windows Genuine Advantage version 1,5,708,0 was the last update installed.

Jun 17, 2007

Can anyone tell me please how to get Windows Updates without installing WGA.My copy of Windows XP has already been validated and from what I read elsewhere it is no advantage to having WGA installed again and again as apparently this is Microsoft's way of keeping tabs on users activity. I have auto update completely turned off as I prefer to be in control of downloads

Genuine Notification BS

May 7, 2006

Like alot of people that build their own systems or constantly upgrade and switch out parts, I use a cracked copy of Windows XP on some of my builds. These are my own builds and if someone wants a new PC, the price of a genuine Windows OS is included in the price and they are given the disk. It is because of Microsofts asinine activation feature and the fact that I have 4 desktops and 2 laptops that I use the cracked copy. Anyways, my girlfriends dad's (a cop )laptop recently had a hard drive failure, and because he bought it with Windows preinstalled(no disk) he needed an OS. He didn't know any better and when I went over there last night to check on his laptop, up pops the MS genuine notification that has recently gone around.

Not Having Genuine Advantage Results In Stopping System Wok?

Jun 30, 2006

I read an article on slashdot.org which states that if windows users do not install the windows genuine advantage update that windows will stop working. Apparently this is supposed to be happening this fall. I have installed the Windows Genuine Advantage update because well I had no choice but I haven't installed the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification update (KB905474).These are separate updates. If I do not install the notification update will this mean that windows will stop working or do I just need to install the Windows Genuine Advantage update for windows to continue to keep working?

Genuine Advantage Validation Tool - Updates Can't Download

Aug 18, 2006

My university makes us run a Computer Assessment Tool before we bring our PC's to college. It is a good way to keep the network free of viruses and garbage. without running this tool and passing, you cannot connect to their network. of course, keep my computer squeaky clean and virus/spyware free. the only point that is keeping me from passing is that i need to download 2 windows updates. no biggie, so when i try to download them from the window's update site, but it won't download them, it errors. For some reason i am missing this Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool KB892130.

I HAVE A VALID COPY OF WINDOWS XP PRO. WHEN I GO TO WINDOWS UPDATES IT VALIDATES THEN I RECEIVE A MESSAGE THAT YOU HAVE AN INVALID PRODUCT ID. I READ IN A NEWS GROUP THAT IT WAS A BUG.

The one displayed in System Properties General tab will have the OEM-00 issue because of the bug.

Notification Received Update SP3 - Not Downloaded File

May 11, 2008

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 Laptop that is one year old. It has 2GB of memory and a Duo Core T5600 processor. I am using Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have Norton 360 Version 2.0, Spy Sweeper, and Registry Mechanic installed. I have other programs such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, Microsoft Office 2003 with Word as my default, Google Email, and Family Tree Maker 2005 installed. Note that the laptop is a �small business� version instead of �Home and Home Office� version, if that makes any difference.

I have received my Windows Update notification that Service Pack 3 is ready for me to download. I have not downloaded yet. I have done some extensive research on problems with SP3 and have found a lot of information, much which is not too praising of SP3. However, most of the stuff that I have found on the internet is �older� stuff. I have searched MS data to see what they have posted about SP3 problems. What I am looking for here is has anyone had or know of any problems with SP3 that has been download say in the past three months or so?

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.
