Windows pirated

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

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?

Call Microsoft and explain what happened. If your Windows is genuine and there was an error, you will get a new code.

I thought it was obvious it wasn't legit.

:huh: If it's not legit what are you complaining about?..........and I would'nt be advertising the fact.

It was obvious from what you blatantly posted. You've come to the wrong place to ask such a question about circumventing Windows, it just isn't going to happen here. Whatsmore giving information about how to circumvent Windows, DRM'd music, or any software, etc., can get site/forum owners into serious legal trouble that costs them loads of money if a publisher feels as if they were damaged.

Good luck elsewhere!
