Windows XP SP3 volume license key genuine and activated, still getting You may be a victim of Software Counterfeiting message. ( Noel, if you see this, please ignore. I posted the same problem in Social, just to cast a wider net. I am desperate! And yes, I shall post back with the MGADiag report. Update: Noel, I have put the Report at the end. Hello. I made it into a separate question because my situation is slightly different. This relates to my work computers at a large University/Medical School. A brief note about School policy here. The University IT policy is that when we buy these machines from Dell, they are delivered straight to IT. They then strip whatever OS came with the system (it was Vista in our case), and do a fresh install of Windows XP professional with the Volume Licensing Key that they get from Microsoft (my University IT partners with Microsoft, apparently). They also install a lot of Enterprise-specific programs and the Symantec Corporate Edition antivirus, before they hand the machine over to us. The machine I am having problem with came with Vista in 2008. The Dell support tag on the machine still shows up as Vista OS at the Dell Support site. We were informed by the IT department that our Volume Licensing Key for the Windows XP installations on our computers would expire sometime in November 2012, and we would start getting the "Copy of Windows did not pass validation check" message. When this happened, we would have to change the product key. The IT folks gave us an alternate product key. The suggested method was to deactivate windows, run the activation wizard and change the product key to the new one. It worked fine for two computers. The third computer is giving me no end of grief. I used the exact same method. The system accepted the new product key. When I re-run the Activation Wizard, it says that this copy of Windows is activated (left top of screenshot. When I go to the Microsoft Windows Validation Diagnostic website and run the web-based tool, it shows that the copy of Windows is genuine (Right side of the screenshot. And yet, every time I shutdown the machine and restart it, I am getting the "You may be a victim of Software Counterfeiting" and "Copy of Windows did not pass validation check" messages (left bottom of screenshot; this is after restart. But the WGA message appears on shutdown also. How do I resolve this? I noticed that I have been unable to get any Windows update beyond the critical ones on this machine. What is going on. Can someone please shed some light on this. EDIT: Here is the Diagnostic Report from tool.
