So, I just tried to download Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile Update Beta. And this is what I got.
What's going on with that? And how to I fix it?
get a non-pirated version of windows. if it isn't pirated, go complain at Microsoft.
edit: btw: did you use Firefox or IE?
First of all! I do not use pirated software and I'm insulted that you implied that I do. If I was using pirated software I would not have posted this.
This just happened for the first time about 15 minutes ago. I paid for my software! I have the receipts to prove it. Why did this just start happening today?
I was using IE.
I just ran the MGA (microsoft genuine advantage) diagnostics tool. I'm posting the result.
i dont believe it. you used IE! w0w.
anyways, have you tried the activeX validation method?
edit: have you checked the requirments?
and are you sure you downloaded from microsoft.com?

haha, if I click on my email account thru Messenger it automatically opens it in IE. I get email notifications from MS about new downloads. I went thru that link and it is Microsoft.com.
I haven't tried the activeX validation method because it didn't give me the option, and I don't know how to make it give me the option.
Could it possibly be because I changed some hardware today in my PC?
edit: have you checked the requirments?
Ah! My processor doesn't meet the requirements.
I'll try another download and see if it works. Thanks for that Aaron.
"You chose to validate by the alternative (non-ActiveX) validation method which requires a download of an executable."
edit: yup, i follow others and go for the easy stuff first.
Phew. Okay it validated for a different download.
Now I wonder why Validation diagnostic tool didn't validate me. I'm posting on MS's Validation forum now.
just curious, did you download the same thing or an earlier or later version?

Something completely different, but it still required a validation. Why?
i was just wondoring if it was the program.

It might be. I'm still waiting for a reply on MS's Validation Forum.

Well so far all that is know is that the diagnostic tool has a glitch in it. Today the diagnostic tool gave me a Genuine Status. I told them to fix it.
