JSKY Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Sorry for posting this in two places. But I want to make sure everyone catches it.There is a big glitch in Microsofts WGA server.If you try to activate your copy it will fail. DO NOT USE THE WINDOWS GENUINE ADVANTAGE SERVICEAnd if you download software that needs to check M$'s Windows Genuine Advantage. It will de-activate your legit copy. This affects both XP and Vista.M$ says they should have the problem fixed by Tuesday. You can run a newly installed OS for 30 days, Just put off untill after Tuesday.
