You use a valid copy of xp. So do I and I didn't have any problems either.
But as far as I knew, IE7 won't install unless your copy is valid anyway.
Some people you talk to may have valid copies; if they bought their pc from Dell for example its not going to be fake! it may just be that the MS validation tool failed and gave them a false alarm.
Also, Microsoft say on their site to update your anti virus and anti trojan before installing, as IE7 makes new registry entries and some security software was blocking it. They had to fix that problem while they were testing in beta. As a last resort you disconnect from the net and switch it off before you install.

IE 7 checks when you install it that the version of windows is valid. Other microsoft software does this too such as mediaplayer 11 and .NET 3.0.
If you do get it to install it should work OK as it only checks when installed.
There is another little piece of software that windows installs called wga. this is what causes problems on pirated XP. If it thinks the copy is counterfeit it gives pop ups telling you it may not be genuine. This has nothing to do with IE7.
I have a genuine XP and think IE7 fcks with it anyway. Don't use internet explorer if you can help it

No. Internet Explorer 7, when installing, will check if you have a valid Windows XP installation. It will then install with no problems.
Those people having problems with IE7 have other problems on their computers, stemming from "cute" mouse cursors, "extreme" screen savers and "uber" desktop themes. Not even counting the "oh so helpful" toolbars.

nicely, human beings get stuck with the help of sharing pirated software with others or promoting that they have got it and use it, or basically with the help of truth they get reported. So posting on a public information superhighway website like this received't be the best element to do. which could not likely you receives stuck yet you extremely may favor to end telling human beings about it. Unknown on the fines for human beings.

You only need to do a search on here to see how many people are having problems with IE7. The best thing to do is download Mozilla Firefox available from http://www.mozilla.com/ Its faster, more user friendly, easily customisable to suit your needs and no problems.

You're in trouble, when you don't have enough free RAM (working memory) or not enough free space on your hard drive.
Like all new Microsoft software, each new version needs more space and is slower than their predecessors.
The art of creating fast and small programs seems to have been killed by the imaginary need for creating unnecessary new features and creating it fast, to be able to compete with alternative products.
And Microsoft seems to forget, that not everyone can afford the newest and fastest computer each time they release an "upgrade". They recently stopped support for smaller and faster operating systems, that worked very well with less RAM and smaller hard drives.

oh yes, i could see that coming a long time ago.
However, there'll be a crack to bypass it already available, it's just finding it.
You could download an official copy of XP free from a Japanese site the day BEFORE Microsoft launched it!

Yes it is because it detects if you have a Guanine product first. Then you will get a message that your Microsoft product is not genuine. You get what you pay for.

where there is a will there is a way. Everything is crack resistant not crack proof. Its actually rather easy to fool the M$ validator.
