Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)

I can't get this copyof XP to validate. I was wanting to know if the other four of you have the same problem?

[Boomslang]

Has anyone gone to update their OS?
Does  anybody know what I'm talking about?

[ZWarrior]

I updated the day before NetWar without a single problem.

[ZWarrior]

I just tried this.  It is a new patch requirement since NetWar, and it is failing to install on my system.  It is not saying that I am running a invalid OS, just that it can't install.

[ZWarrior]

I noticed that I couldn't even get the log window ti display in IE, or use the link to the newsgroups either.  I copied the newsgroups URL to a window in Firefox and could get into the newsgroups.  Apparently this is a problem industry wide.  

I did find the solution however...

If redirecting is disabled in your IE or by a "security software"
running in the background, here you go:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/a/f/3afe96b2-558e-4fdd-9d9e-d5ac4b6cbad4/WGADiag2.exe

Download and save the tool, quit your browser, execute the tool and
try to access Windows Update via IE again afterwards.

Bye,

Sad that MS can't come up with a solution on their own.

Thanks for the update!

I would say you should probably call Microsoft and lodge a complaint.

[Boomslang]
