I had a thread before on this saying how I ordered Windows XP Pro and I sent in my PC to get the wiring fixed when building my PC and they offered to install my Windows XP Pro for me so I let them and now they stole it and I am left with an ungenuine XP copy. My question is is there someway to get my Windows updates w/o a genuine copy? I know I can download the installer for updates but before it actually installs the updates, it needs to validate your Windows copy which I cannot pass. I ask because I really need some downloads from Microsoft (WMP 11 and DirectX 9.0c) and they are pretty much forcing me to buy another copy of the OS.
Also, it has been like 10 months since those crooks at the PC shop took my genuine Windows cd key, do you think I can possibly threaten them for unfair business practice into giving me a new one? It's a long shot but I really want to get back at them.
