A friend bought this computer at a yard sale for me. It came with no
software, so "windows XP Professional SP 1" was already installed on it.
When I got online I went to Microsoftdownload.com and learned about the free
updates and proceeded to enjoy the much needed updates I was receiving. So I
wanted to update to XP SP 2,or even Vista. So I started with the validation
test and that's when it replied the message "This copy did not pass genuine
validation" . I can't afford to purchase any new software, I am dissabled
and am not even getting a check yet. So could somebody please help me in
telling me where to go from here. Thank you for your time and help.
