not much. the problem affects XP users. microsoft has been installing a software, “windows genuine advantage” (WGA), as part of its updates to stop piracy.

it affects getting the software’s updates, downloading of games, and upgrading windows media player. downloads of other programs is not affected(ex. messenger, etc.)

as far as i know, there are no working cracks to circumvent WGA.

just for your info.

ouch, that sucks. I would save all your important files on a separate disk, then purposely corrupt the your windows files and infect the computer. Take it in and tell them you need windows reinstalled. They should have a corporate version of XP to install that is legitimate. Or just pay $300 USD for Windows XP. Naw I’m just play’n.

Google for Windows XP Key Changer

I had the same problem and found this key changer along with corporate keys... all you have to do is run it and damn... it worked. Can’t remember where I got it so search but it is out there.
