windows updating problems

ok, so i know we got some smart techies here.. ive got a problem ive never run into before.. its probably something stupid microsoft just started doing but....

im fixing a computer that has been off line at my office for a while.. so it doesn't have any of the recent windows updates.. by recent i mean SP1 and up... now im trying to update it and its telling me that my machine isn't completeling validation... i have no idea why this is as it is a perfectly legal copy of windows XP..

anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks for your help

I've never figured out how to be gracefully humble without appearing weak.

Nor have I figured out how to be gracefully passionate without appearing arrogant.

In the end, I always seem to be arrogant and weak instead of humbly passionate.

Yep, the new WGA process is a !!!!!!

Look here for possible fixes.

If you've got a bootleg copy of windows, you'll never get past validations, and won't be able to update.

The sad part is, its not a final product, its still BETA (or was last time I did any serious research on it).

There are work arounds, view the forums above, and hopefully you can get it sorted out.
