Hey everyone,
Recently i have downloaded the latest WGA (i.e Windows Genuine Advantage) on my system. I have installed Windows Xp on my computer, but the latest downloaded WGA keeps on giving me some sort of error, while working. It doesn't allow me to work for a longer time and this really annoys me:wub: Can any one tell me how do i get rid of this problem? Would be grateful to you if any one provides me any solution for the above issue.
Thanks.
If you use Windows, do your best to avoid anything that requires a ping to WGA. That means you should stay away from patches and add-ons until the coast is clear. WGA will not reach out across the Internet and deactivate your copy of Windows, but you should avoid talking to a WGA server.
The only thing that you can do is to updates your Microsoft activations keys available for Windows XP.:thumbup1:
It may also happen due to your validation failure of ActiveX control. Check out whether your ACtiveX control is enable or disable. If your ActiveX control for the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool has been disabled. Follow the steps below to make sure the ActiveX is enabled.
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click on Tools, Internet Options
3. Click on the Programs tab
4. Click on the Manage Add-ons button
5. Find the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool and click on it
6. Verify the Add-on is enabled, if it is not. Click Enable and Ok twice to exit back to Internet Explorer.
7. Close Internet Explorer and reopen it. Now try to validate Windows again.
It can also be caused by a permissions problem in the registry. To fix this issue, follow the steps below:
1. Click Start, and then click Run
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK
3. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
4. Locate the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck
5. Right-click the subkey and select Permissions….
6. Ensure that Administrators allowed Full Control permission
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck.1
If this does not fix the issue, then download the update to your desktop and try to install it manually.
