evertime i try to update my computer with the latest security updates...it says cannot validate windows. what is this?
How do i validate windows cant download any updates for my computer...anyone?spyware remover
Microsoft now checks for the legality and genuiness of your copy of windows. So when you try to update, it finds that you dont have a legal copy.
I bet your copy is a pirated one. If you have the windows CD, you'll find that it didn't come with a boxed package and documentation. No holograms. No printed matter. No serial numbers on any box.
What you need to do is get an ORIGINAL version of windows.

Validation is Microsoft's way of checking if that software is legit - or is a copy.
I'm not sure if what you are saying is you were unable to go through the validation process, or you did and it could not validate that that copy is legit.
If it's not legit, you need to purchase the operating system in order to be legal and receive updates. Microsoft provides an online method to purchase it, which avoids having to reinstall.
if you got the pc with winxp already installed go back where you got it they gave you a illegal copy. if they gave you a winxp boot disc and a validation code key try reformatting it . if you changed more than 3 thing, memory,video/audio card , ethernet,modem etc.. winxp will think it is installed on a new pc and void you , if you contact microsoft they can reset it.
Five is correct in pointing you to the Microsoft website. Occasionally, legit copies of Windows do have issues with Windows Validation and the link will get you started on resolving those issues.
