It's the Genuine Software protection programme, running by Microsoft.  If you activate the software with microsoft, you can download special applications from microsoft as well as, gets helps, advance programs from the company.  It is the new programme against the piracy.

Microsoft has made that task quite hard.\n\nYou have to call in to Microsoft to get the code to activate a copy of Windows XP.  If someone has already gotten the code, you cannot.\n\nI suggest not pirating Windows.  It is just like stealing.\n\nPEACE IS COMMING SOON!

Use the telephone option. There is a toll free number. You will have to read the guy your 'key'# and answer a couple of questions...\n1. Click the Windows Activation icon in the notification area. \n2. Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows now. \n3. Open and read the Windows Product Activation Privacy Statement, click Back, and then click Next.  \n4. Follow the steps in the Activate Windows by phone dialog box....

Should have come with your software. Unless of course you bought a pirated copy :( I believe I read something about XP and future editions of Windows will be configured to become inoperable on the host computer if the key is entered into another computer (like if you buy a new computer and load your copy of xp on it, it will become inoperable on the old computer)

u may have original code but it wont help u windows continually scans computers for pirated code and for legit codes. if it sees 2 identical codes it will disable the latter of the 2 codes to b activated. in fact it may not allow the 2nd person using the same code at all\n\neven if u did get it to work window update would require a validation tool to b downloaded b4 the sp2 so ur copy would fail verification and update wouldnt help u in short get real copy

The source of the software is unclear from your post.  You can download almost any software for free, but you may be required to provide a registration number or pay online/via telephone in order to activate the software.  More info would be helpful.

This is true unless the software came included with your PC when you bought it.  In this case, you'd likely have an OEM license, which can only be activated in one PC.

Well, first of all, its called XP-SP2\n\nAccording to Microsoft Liecensing, you are not permitted to have the same copy of Windows installed on more than one PC-unless you have a license to do so (I mean installed from trhe same CD with the same Serial Number)...\n\nBut, if you register the Operating System online on a different computer (second, third, etc computer), it will register and there will be no problems...\n\nThe only problem is that its not legal!!!\n\nAs for removing the Windows copy from your Laptop, you simply need to wipe out the partition that contains Windows (Normally the "C: Drive")\n\nThis can be done through several methods:\n[1]\n- place the Windows CD in the drive\n- boot from cd-rom\n- go through the installation process...\n- once opted to chose the desination of installation, delete the partition, confirm deletion, create a new one, and format it...\n- after format is complete and before the copying of Windows files, switch off your laptop...(if some files are copied, this is no big deal)\n\n[2]\n- try acronios software and wipe out the partition\nhttp://www.acronis.com/\nwhat you need is Acronis Disk Director Suite 10\nhttp://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/diskdirectorsuite/\ndownload the free trial, create the BootCD, and start off with it...\n\n- otherwise, you can use PartitionMagic\neither PowerQuest PartitionMagic versions, or the 8.05 version which was after its aquisition by Symatec\nhttp://www.symantec.com/home_homeoffice/products/system_performance/pm80/features.html

Install it directly from microsoft website if you have geniune windows. it will do eveything automatically for you. You would require to just sit & watch it installing.\n\nIt is great as it keeps your PC protected from virus & other threats or attacks.

This is saying that your windows version cannot be verified as legitimate. Also make sure you have Service Pack 2 on your PC. Without that, it cannot run. You also have to have enough space for it. If you have these things, you might have to email microsoft or yahoo about the trouble.\n\nBtw, I just downloaded myself today on my oldest PC to test it before putting it on my laptop. And so far I REALLY like it. It's a little unually looking, but once you take the tour to learn about the features, it's no harder to use that the old version. Plus, the security is better and it compacts the menu bars so you can see more on the screen. I think it's nice. I'm going to test it for these "bugs" they talk about before putting it on the laptop, but so far I see no problems.\n\nGood luck. I hope you can get it downloaded.

It looks as though you may have changed some big time hard ware and MSN will need a call from you so as to renew your license or by chance, you have disabled cookies and poor MSN can not verify that you are who you say and not some black marketeer from Malaysia, etc.\n\nTry enabling cookies in IE, if you can't do that or get online you'll need to contact tech support at microsoft so they can validate your copy of windows.\n\nThe error number is a validation error, your copy is now for whatever reason not registered, you need to get in touch with them so they can update your details & get it up & running again.\n\nIf you can get online somewhere else download the program ccleaner and run that on your comp it will give you a list of spyware & issues that may be affecting your computer.\n\nThere is also a windows repair utility on xp home you find it by pressing F9 when it is booting up or trying to

Ring Microsoft.  They are very helpful.  You still need the product code which is either a sticker on your computer or on a box you bought Windows XP on.  You don't need to register with Microsoft but you do need to Activate the operating system after a reinstall or repair.  If you think you have a dodgy copy of Windows, go out and buy a student version which will be fairly cheap and use that product code.  It must be the same type ether home or professional.\n\nNote: It really isn't worth cracking or using a pirated version because every time you update the patches or have to do a reinstall you will meet this issue again.

Not one I recognise. MSI.EXE is the Microsoft Installer program which is required to install other programs.

Go to the MS site and run an eval to see if your sysytem will work.\nSite also has instructions for the upgrade actions.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.\n\nWinISO I've used for years and that will do the trick, but what you downloaded was the beta version of Windows Vista.  The official doesn't come out until this fall and that's strictly for businesses that have accounts through Microsoft.  The public doesn't get Vista until after x-mas next year.\n\nThe beta may still have bugs in the system and if you install it, you run the risk of having to deal with those bugs.  Additionally, you may not be able to unistall the beta Vista.  Thus it's better to either permanently upgrade to the beta and deal with the problems, or install it cleanly thus you'd need the DVD for it.
