Carey Frisch:
1. Download and install the WGA Diagnostic Tool
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=56062
2. After running the WGA Diagnostic Tool, click on the "Windows" tab and
then click on "Copy to Clipboard".
3. Next, visit the following website and create a post in the "WGA
Validation Problems" forum and paste the results of the WGA Diagnostic Data
in a detailed post:
http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/...1004&SiteID=25
Please also post the error code you get (if any) when you validate by
clicking "Validate Windows" here:
www.microsoft.com/genuine
The error code will be gray and in brackets at the end of the message on the
page that says validation failed. (It'll look something like this:
[0xC004C000]).
4. A WGA troubleshooting specialist will analyze the data and recommend an
appropriate solution.
