Solution for Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)

Have your copy of windows validated trough this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/h...s/default.mspx

then when you go back to the update website it wont keep promting to install
WGAT.

The "Validation" tool seems to fail with my copy of Windows 2000...
this page suggests that it only works with XP and Server 2003

So?

I have tried this and failed misreably. For one thing the sticker thingy is
on the undeside of my laptop and I need a magnifying glass and strong light
source to read the thing. Second I cannot make sense of the Questions. After
blundering about and dropping the machine I seem to be worse off in that I
now get a long list of updates all of which fail. What do Mictrosoft want
BLOOD!!! I've paid enough for this unsafe software now they won't let me
update it. Doh
