Hate to press any further, but would someone be willing contact microsoft for me to at least find out the issue, or find out what I need to do to fix this. I mean, it should only take a .dll or some sort of missing component, right? |
Well, that's the end of that. I can't do anything for you. All of the DLLs are there, but it runs tests to see if your copy is genuine, using the WGA. You'll have to buy a product key.
I hate it when people jip you like that. One of my friends suffered the same thing. Luckily, purchasing a license is a piece of cake.

Hate to bug you, but one more quick question.
How much is it to buy a key, and how do you go about doing it?
Is it just a registration code, or would I be buying a whole new copy of XP?

I dont know about buying a key but are you familiar with torrents? if so head over to demonoid and look for xp professional student version. it comes with a multi user key, originally designed for academic places that teach windows installations to students right through to updating the new installation. it was what i was running til i found the OEM version of Vista ultimate SP1 3 weeks ago. if you are familiar with downloading thru torrents and know where to look And know how to put a operating system in ( back up files you want to keep, burn OS to disc, reboot and run) then you should be fine. if you need any pointers or help, let me know in a pm stating precisely where you are stuck and i'll see what i can do

You gotta PM a link to that fool. I'll rock it until I get a legit copy of Windows 7.

NVM. I found a place where I can buy it pretty cheap.
I was thinking BitTorrent when I read your post.
