1. Lauch Windows Task Manager.
2. End wgatray.exe process in Task Manager.
3. Restart Windows XP in Safe Mode.
4. Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32.
5. Delete WgaTray.exe from c:\Windows\System32\dllcache.

Answer 2

well, whats going on here, did you pirate? if so then you deserve problems from microsoft, thats what you get for tampering with the gods! Okay on how to fix it... You want to get rid of almost all of the updates... just not service pack 2. Then you want to install them ALL back onto your machine excluding, "Windows Genuine Advantage Update"... This mofos job is to deny you access to windows updates if you dont have a legit copy of windows... So when you have all the updates installed this is what to do, GO BACK to microsofts site...

install the genuine update by itself
restart computer
go to IExplorer...
Go to tools
Internet Options
programs tab
manage add-ons
Go through the list until you find anything that resembles "windows genuine valadation tool" or anything along the lines its called like wga or wgu or something... DISABLE that... once you do this you are free to get current updates whenever...

if your computer can operate and you just meant that you cant get any updates, just skip the un-install steps and head right to setting up your internet explorer...
any questions you can message me.

Answer 3

Do you have a copy of the XP if so you will have to redo your computer, then you need to turn off your auto updates. If you don't have a copy of the copy the only other thing I can recamend is to go to System restore and try go back to an early time .

Answer 4

service pack 2 is safe enough. you don't need to update, unless you gotto some crappy site often and illegally download some software. You need to get a legal copy of xp or at least a legal cd key.

Answer 5

Try using your restore disk. Or reload the original software.

If all else fails, and you have the software pack, preferably a restore disk, you MIGHT need to erase the hard drive and start over. I would suggest that any further updates you get, get them from MSN.com only!

Answer 6

Buy a genuine version of Windows XP Professional. What you're asking for is to help you break the law, which I'm sure breaks one or two rules on this site.

I'm sure if you put the SLIGHTEST bit of effort into it, you'd find your answer almost instantly.

Answer 7

Start...
Run...
type in "msconfig" hit enter
click on the startup tab
Uncheck wgaLogon
Uncheck wgatray
Click on ok, and then restart

Goodluck. just remember that until you can get an authentic XP license you will not be able to run Wndows update. Although the system itself will run fine.

Answer 8

same here... but i think the best solution is to uninstall your version (the one ur using now..) and use the original one. most importantly, make sure that your computer is serviced by licensed stores

Answer 9

download service pack 2 and install it in your computer first of you uninstall extra software from your computer choosing add/remove programe...ok?

Answer 10

Well you have to use a legit copy of windows if you want to avoid problems legal issues.
