(Page 2 of 6 )
Resolution 1: Validate Online
The first way to resolve Windows Genuine Advantage issues is to try validating online via the Microsoft web site. The web site requires Internet Explorer with ActiveX controls enabled. Once you meet the requirements, visit the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine
On the left side of the page, click the Validate Windows or Validate Office button and follow the on-screen prompts. Be sure to allow downloading of the ActiveX object.

The validation process only takes a few seconds in most cases. When validation completes, you should receive a message indicating whether or not your system passed.
