Look for additional User's reporting the same

its best to contact Microsoft .

If you learn you need to contact

If you have all your receipts indicating you
purchased Windows XP from a valid source-
Microsoft will assist you .
Coincidental that this question should arise today. I posted about the conterfeit problem at FL earlier and got distracted so hadn't posted here yet. Its now at http://www.landzdown.com/index.php?topic=7140.new#new . Here's a link on "How to tell": http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/default.mspx
Is this the first time you have run the Windows Genuine Advantage tool?

JonPaulOnLine,
As the PC is only something like 3 months old :blink: Paddy ( only live a few 100 yards away) & I have advised him to go to the shop that it was brought from as a first stop.
