I recently left home for a few days, and came back to a very messed up computer! I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2. It's a version that came with computer when I bought it from BestBuy. Just today it was telling me that it's not Genuine... I am getting several Internet Explorer run errors. I can't get disks to AutoPlay in my Lite-On combo drive... I don't have them money to buy a new geniune key from Microsoft, is there a way I can fix this? Also what about these script errors? I have ran all my programs to check for adware/spyware/virus/malware did it all in safe mode and I still can't get it to work correctly. :((
 
If you bought this OEM version from BestBuy, I suggest you call Microsoft and explain your situation and provide proof of purchase (usually a label on the computer with the serial).

At the time of WGA's launch, the program met with mixed reviews from customers because of a flaw that identified some versions of Windows as counterfeit when they were actually genuine copies. Because of this, the automated verification feature was immediately hacked so users could avoid running the program when using Microsoft update services. Microsoft has since repaired the flaws.

Microsoft has increased its efforts in recent years to fight software piracy and the counterfeiting of its software products. In addition to the GSI, the company has been working with hardware vendors to fight piracy and counterfeiting in countries that are prone to software piracy, such as China.
