    I reinstalled XP Pro and Microsoft will not validate. Therefore, I cannot get updates, IE7, WMP 11, etc. My initial installation in Sept 2007, and reinstall in Jan 2008 had no problems. Can someone help?

    what error message are you getting? are you sure you typed your key in correctly? you can check your key with this (link below)

    have you contacted microsoft about your situation? other than verifying your key (and/or changing it if need be), your other option would be to contact ms. g/l, sos

    The message I got back from Microsoft was: the VLK was issued to an organization that is no longer using it. When I tried to use the Validation advisor to submit info, it would not send. I have enabled cookies in Internet Options. Also, I did get IE7 installed but not WMP 11. Error msg at bottom of page was-0x80080213. Help!

    Almost forgot: I checked the key and it matches. Any ideas?

    Where did you get your version of XP from?

    Do you have the COA label on the PC or CD case with licence key on it?

    As if its VLK then your company is likely to have issued this to you and a natural course at times is all keys are changed to curb illegal useage from employees that are not working for that company anymore ( not saying thats your issue, just mentioning this in case you have left said company ).
