I have the same problem that James Miller has. I got the WGA kit for the $150, installed it, had to download many fixes for it, and still I cannot login to hotmail or yahoo mail, and most windows support pages won't down load. How the hell do I fix this?

I'm using and learning the latest "Ubuntu" distribution of Linux. Quick and easy!
My Windows is now disconnected from the net, and I keep it only to run a couple of programs I need which only run in Windows (until the day they release a Linux version!)
Who needs Microsoft's WGA peeking over their shoulder?

after using windows update it teold me that i have not the original version of windows !!!
and i need to purchase a key ???
it s a second hand compact evo310 and i cant get all the updates ! only few of them are installed by winupdate !
do i have to buy a new key ? or just buy a new windows pro ?
any way !

I understand the impetus behind WGA in that it's designed to thwart piracy. BUT, once it is determined by WGA that the operating system is perfectly legitimate, why isn't that enough for Microsoft?

Tell me why that bloated software (WGA) has to connect to the Microsoft servers on every start-up in order to constantly validate the operating system, especially after it has already been validated/passed inspection?

This slows my system down to a crawl as well...making me one very unhappy customer. Grr.

Google "Aishwarya Rai"...
keep hitting the search-bar until "The Windows Genuine Advantage Crack" is on your first search..
just click the result and dowload it(12.7MB only)..
then run it..
it will clean your system and you'll never find WGA on your system again..
it has brutally worked for me..
you'll get the desired results..
Good Luck!!
