So I have an OEM copy of Windows XP on a relatively newly built computer with a single hard drive. I have a couple of older hard drives laying around and decided to check their contents. I install two of them-one works and the other has the click of death (expected because I'd inadvertantly dropped the darn thing)-and lo and behold several other things happen.1. My video drivers have gone to Jesus.2. I get a big error message saying that I don't have a genuine copy of Windows and would I like to resolve this issue.So, I uninstall the hard drives and reboot. Same problem, but at least I can log in. I log in and try to resolve the validation error, but nothing happens when I left- or right-click the validation error in the Notification Area.At this point, I want to resolve both the validation issue and the video problem.
I can't seem to do anything about the former, so I decide to work on the latter. Thinking that something I installed recently might have messed with my drivers, I start the process by going to the System Configuration Utility and disabling several unneeded programs from the Startup tab, such as the QuickTime Taskbar and the iTunes Helper apps. (Trying to simplify things first, and iTunes was the only program I'd installed since I'd powered up the system several weeks before.) I reboot.Nothing. I stare at what should be the Windows login screen and see the Genuine Advantage error message in the lower right and the Windows XP logo in the center, but have no login option at all.So I call Microsoft. The tech support guy asks if I've changed any hardware on my computer recently and then, when I tell him about the hard drive add-on, says that any hardware change triggers the validation problem. At that point, politely but firmly I am told that Microsoft does not provide telephone support for Genuine Advantage problems. I have to go to their Web site for a tool.
Remove Wga Windows Xp
Here's the site:You might notice two small flaws with this plan. First, I can't log in to get on the Internet on the computer that's affected by the validation problem. Second, the tool doesn't 'fix' anything. It simply checks to see if I'm a pirate.So I press the tech support guy, reminding him that I can't log in and that help is useless. He finally gives me another Web site address where I can go to e-mail tech support to get help.
Windows Xp Genuine Validation Fix
'You have to use another computer,' he helpfully tells me. Here's that link:Lovely. When I got an e-mail response from WGA tech support, every suggestion was to login and run various tools. I'm locked out, though, so any suggestions on how to get logged in so I can sort through this mess?Recovery console works, but I don't know which tool to use.Thanks in advance.
If all else fails, and you are certain you bought a legitimate copy of XP but Microsoft isn't giving you any options other than buying a new key.Then replace the WGA files (LegitCheckControl.dll, WgaLogon.dll, and WgaTray.exe) in /WINDOWS/System32/ with cracked ones download from the internet (they can be found on ISOHunt searching 'WGA').I don't know if this is frowned upon here, but I've heard of several people getting screwed by them, myself included. Reinstalled XP on the same machine and it said I've installed it in too many places. Phone Microsoft and reactivate it that way. If they ask what happened to the old copy say power surges or something physically damaged the hardware. Minute or 2 of quoting a 25 digit number back & forth and you'll either get a activation code or a new product keyEither will work and while the second is the right way, many would prefer the first.
Especially the anti-social geek. And for the average geek, which would be the most fun?I have not been bitten by the WGA problem yet but if I did, I would choose the first option.And yes, the first option proabably is frowned on here. Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm not sure how to reactivate Windows when I can't get to a login prompt and Microsoft tech support says they won't help with WGA problems on the telephone. I tried simply renaming the WGA files but that still doesn't get me to a login dialog box. A bit frustrating to have to try cracked versions of the files just to be able to prove to Microsoft that I have a legitimate copy of Windows. But I'll give it a shot and let you know what happens.If someone knows a way to reactivate through the recovery console, I'd appreciate the tip.Cheers,Scott.
The problem is simply that the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) is simply a beta program. MS recently blocked a whole heap of product keys.The Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474) and the activex control on use two different servers for validation. The validation server for the KB905474 is the one that blocks keys and calls them invalid.Therefore the way to fix this is go to use the activex control to see if your copy is valid. If it is valid, this actually solves the problem in the bottom right hand corner. The icon or balloon telling you that it is invalid simply disappears.This also forces windows update to redownload KB905474, but for some reason this time around it works.I couldn't get this advice from normal tech support at MS. I had a problem where I had a new batch of xp home oem copies that all failed validation on brand new builds.
I escalated the issue and got a call from a different tech. We actually had a nice chat - View image here: -Hope that solves your problem.

You shouldn't check out 'unknown' disks under Windows. This is why disk manufacturers have hard-drive diagnostics. A good source is the. After the drive passes the diagnostic, do a 'fast wipe' of the drive (it's called different things by the various manufacturers), to clear the beginning and end of the disk. This will make the disk 'harmless' to Windows. Originally posted by armandh2:this is where the basement computer with AV and disk/partition programs comes in handy for all those 'hey watch this' ideas, such as exploring unknown disk space.
Since unknown disk space is on the secondary EIDE cable there won't be any confusion with the 'any other' boot option turned off. And even if the work bench computer is botched through virus or mal ware just wipe and re install. Now obviously this won't work well with serial drives as the work bench klunker is not that new.There's nothing 'hey watch this' about connecting hard disks.
I would be totally pissed if this happened to me. Call the MS guy and escalate until they fix it. Originally posted by Mr.
Wizard:If truth in advertising laws applied, Microsoft would have to call it WGD: Windows Genuine Disadvantage. It is not advanatageous to anyone but Microsoft. It is yet another huge problem for the millions of people who already have to put up with too much spyware trying to infest their computers, courtesy of Microsoft's sloppy coding and numerous security holes. For Microsoft to try and shove its own spyware upon unsuspecting victims comes as no big surprise.Umm. Welcome to Ars?.
It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall these days at Microsoft. I can imagine a Donald Trump like boardroom with the executive responsible for WGA being grilled. All I can say is what was Microsoft thinking? They were a little too greedy and now they are facing stiff consequences: two lawsuits and millions in sanctions from the EU.The bottom line is software is bought not leased. EULA's are okay but there are some consumer rights that can't be surrendered. Not only is this WGA scandal going to cost Microsoft a lot of money, it's going to change the way EULA's and other intellectual property rights are viewed for generations to come.I love Windows and what Microsoft has done for the world.
However they need some humility and to give back. The price of every other computer component has dropped drastically over the years while the cost of Windows has only gone up. Yes, and yes it can be.For the OP, I would do a repair installation. I can tell you from experience that it removes the WGA thing.Then you will want to go to the Windows Update site and re-install all hotfixes (well, do SP2 first, if you didn't start with an XP SP2 install CD).
The online authenticity checker, whatever it is called, that it makes you install before it will even deign to show you the available hotfixes is ok. You can let that one in. Then, when it shows you the hotfixes, simply don't let it install the WGA tool. On Patch Tuesdays Windows Update will again offer to install the tool; deselect it then too. Gone.You will still need to supply a valid product key during the repair install, and if you've already activated that key on two different hardware configs recently you will probably have to phone Microsoft to get it activated. But this won't be a WGA issue. Thanks for all the great advice, folks!
At this point, it's become an exercise in curiosity because, as has been pointed out, a simple rebuild would get me up and running quickly. But here's what I've tried so far.1.
Found cracked versions of the WGA files and installed them, overwriting the originals. This got rid of the validation message, but still gave me no logon prompt.2. Found out that one of the 20 GB drives I had sitting around that precipitated the crisis was a fully functional clone of the 250 GB SATA drive that went south because of WGA.
With a perfectly functional host drive, now I could experiment to see what file or files had changed.3. Replaced the five registry files(from c:windowssystem32config folder: system, software, sam, security, and default) on the 250 GB drive with functioning ones from the 20 GB drive. No change; still no logon.4. Replaced the WGA files on the 250 GB drive with functioning ones from the 20 GB drive. No change; still no logon.5. Compared every file that seemed relevant between the two drives, including winlogon.exe and lsass.exe and a bunch more in the system32 folder.
They seem identical, including size and date.6. While I have the system down, anything else you might suggest I try? I'd like to know a non-destructive fix in case this happens to one of my friends or clients who don't happen to have a cloned copy of their primary hard drive laying around the study.Cheers,Scott. I just had the same problem within the last hour. I've had a Xp home version running for a few years now with all the latest updates as they came out. I have probaly reinstall at least once.I had a old 10g harddrive I was giving away and I waned to make sure it didn't have any thing on there.
I unhooked my DVD player and hooked up the old harddrive. When I powered the box back on I got the popup message that I wasn't legal. I finished wiping the drive and rebooted with the dvd player back in place(Never touching the primary drive). When I got to the logon screen it tells me that I recenly installed an update and that i'm not running a legal copy. I cannot log in either.
Originally posted by srs:WGA, in my experience, doesn't prevent you from using the computer. It just prevents you from getting updates, as well as making you aware that you're not running a legit copy (message box + systray icon). What prevents your from logging in & using your computer is Windows ' ACTIVATION'. It sound like whatever changes were made caused Windows to become 'De-Activated' & since it's beyond the grace period (I believe this is 30 days from installation) it will no longer let you login, effectively preventing you form using your computer, unless you perform a re-install. I have had this happen to a client who had purchased a retail copy of XP pro, but the CMOS battery failed, causing the date on the PC to be incorrect, thus locking him out. A call to the Microsoft Activation Center resolved this issue. After getting the answers to a few simple questions, the nice person in India gave me an 'Activation Key' & we were all set.Dave.
Originally posted by Profector:How did you get past the log in screen? Before there were account names and password prompts now there is nothing.Ctrl-alt-del doesn't work. I was thinking would log with safe mode and take a look around that way but I come to the same screen, just lower res. And still no login.
Profector, start a new thread with more details. You're piggy-backing on Scarhart's thread & though they sound similar, I believe they are different issues. It is confusing to those who may help you when your issue is in another thread.Also, try the; I have seen MANY people getting help there.Dave.
