If not try this:

Please click start, then run, then type in "wgatray.exe /b" then press enter.
After that, log off and log back on.

If still no resolution, then:

Please follow this simple troubleshooting procedure:

1. Download and install the MGA Diagnostic Tool:

2. After running the WGA Diagnostic Tool, click
on the "Validation" tab and then click on "Copy to Clipboard".

3. Next, visit the following website and create a post in the

4. A WGA troubleshooting specialist will analyze the data and
recommend an appropriate solution.


And why or why should a paying customer have to jump through these hoops instead of using their computer!? Why oh why does MS think it has a right to bully paying customers to help them catch the thieves?

If MS feels someone has stolen something from them, they should call the appropriate legal authorities, not force paying customers to do police work!!!
