I checked for updates and saw I need SP2, which I thought I already had! Downloaded the update and tried to install. Then up comes a box telling me there is a problem with the trigger for the install and the Win XP I have might not be genuine! Computer came from a shop (some time back admitted) so I presume it was genuine. What can I do to install SP2 now please? Whilst shop was there for a few years, it has now closed down, so can't ask them about it. I have had the SUGGESTION that if I can find the receipt Microsoft might replace the version I have? No luck finding reciept yet. Probably chucked it once warrenty was expired!

pantherman..... Your machine has failed the WGA test , which probably means that you do in fact have pirated software .  Unless you have documented proof that your software is LEGAL , your only option now is to purchase a legal copy of Win XP Pro/SP2 and do a format and reinstall of a legal O/S.

Oh well, back to the filing cupboard looking for that receipt! Must be quite a few pirate copies out there then as the shop was selling for at least 3yrs to my knowledge. THANKS for the ADVICE though, at least I know what is happening.pantherman......  One thing I neglected to ask you was ....Do you have the cd that will have the O/S on it ?
If you do , how is it labelled ?


dl65  I did have the CD and am now busy looking for it. I made the mistake of thinking that buying from a small local shop would be okay! Maybe I should stick to the larger suppliers? When (if?) I can find it I will let you know about the label. Thanks.
