WGA Notify fails during installation

[Shell]

Dear Forum,

I have the task to the computer of a friend of a "non-genuine Windows XP installation to liberate. After an Internet Explorer update released it gave the message that there is probably a non-genuine XP version and the desktop is now well-known black + message, etc. ..

He is now a "legal" XP bought me and asked him to install. Is there any way the complete versions without reinstalling "exchange"?

Works to hire a repair installation?

There are a lot of data and applications installed on the computer and, if possible, I would avoid anything new for him up to them.

Thanks for the help!

Presumably, I have just the solution itself in the MS Knowledge Base found.

If it is still possible to run the program for Windows to activate it you can also do so, one only needs to select phone activation and then the bottom Product key change then you can select a new input.

Thanks for the replies.

In the case went to the "exchange" of volume license version of the regular version. That was just unfortunately not just about the product activation and the menu item to change the product key.

Unfortunately, the hard drive a few hours after installing a total loss suffered, so that always a complete reinstallation was necessary. Probably something called a coincidence.
