I thought it was obvious it wasn't legit.

Thx for the reply, but that ain't it. I am able to download from the microsoft page, read through the site you posted before. So that is no problem. However, I would really like to get away the annoying pic I have on the logon screen, and the icon at the left bottom of the screen saying I have a non-validated windows version. Can anyone help? Or does anyone have the same problem?

My windows xp pro has worked properly until now. I have SP2, and I now have a validation problem. Windows says I have a pirated version. Everytime I log off, there is a banner at the bottom of the scren telling me that it is pirated. When I log in, there is an icon in the tool-bar that tells me the same: problem with validation of windows. Is this common? I mean, I actually dont have a legit version, and this time I cant find a serial etc. that works. Does many have the same problem? Does anyone know a way to bypass this, or a usable validation code etc.? Thx in advance Badfellah
