wga validation tool

Hello! I bought a system(compaq deskpro en) with xp pro installed. The wga
tool says that my os may not be valid. All indications are that it is(vendor
and displayed files). I downloaded and installed the 'tool' (kb892130) in
order to be sure of ms support for my system. Now I cannot install it. Help!
Please!

RE: wga validation tool

The Compaq deskpro is an older model of compaq that came either with Windows
98/Me/2000 installed on it. If you have a COA product key sticker on the
side of it you will see the version of windows installed originally on the
computer. Odds are that whomever you bought this from used a fraudulent copy
of XP Professional the most common. Go Here to validate.

You may be forced to buy a legit copy. Carey will be able to give you that
link as I do not have it. Good luck,

Joe
