When I run Windows Update ,It tells me that I have no updates to download and
install. A while back i had a power failer when i was booting my Pc, and it
caused something to my Pc. So i had taken my Pc to the place where my wife
had worked , at that time, and they reinstalled XP pro but didnt give me a
boot up disk. My question is ,When I try to run an update ,it tells me that i
need to activate windows,then it will not let me do so. Something about not
owning the XP Pro version. Can anyone help? My Pc states that I'm running SP

Is your copy of Windows genuine
