Tech guys?? (Windows question) - The Punters Lounge

TazaD · 20-03-2007, 07:15

Those clever cyber-people at Microsoft have recently realised that my version on Windows XP isn't genuine.

Everything still works ok, but it now won't install the auto-update patches, and basically it just gets very annoying asking me if I want to get the real version all the time!!

I'm pretty sure I remember this happening to me a while back, and was easily fixed...problem is I can't remember how...

...so if anyone out there can give me some help, I'd really appreciate it.

Plenty of XP patches out there to get rid of the nagging screen.

Mininova used to have one but there not hard to find as a rule.
Useful if you need to install a genuine copy on several machines aswell.

You will have to manually download the updates, but it will work (I hope so).
