You don't have much of an option, your gonna have to buy a real version, the cheapest that a friend got was from Mirco Soft directly, they did it online and sent him a copy of the disk. I think he said it cost like $99 bucks for XP pro directly from Mirco soft.

It is either Genuine or Pirate!! Did you go to Windows Security Update and get that? I f you did and that is where you were told that, then you have got a Pirate System. Which means that somebody put a version of Windows on your computer. Or you did the Help and found it for your self anyway if you did then its a Pirate setup

It means whoever built the machine used an unauthorized version of Windows XP. Microsoft will sell you a genuine version for about $150. Microsoft will not let you update until the genuine issue is resolved. Not difficult, just a matter of getting a new "keycode" from Microsoft for your system.

buy a legal copy. if it is a legal copy then you may have used the key too many times, in wich case call up microsoft and tell em you got a virus and you need to get a new validation key.

go to your control panel and click the System icon.. there will be text that you can click on.. that says "activate your windows operating system" click on that.. after that microsoft should allow you to download updates..

Hold up, are you using Vista? If so, when does it tell you this because curtain programs makes Vista says that it's un-real even though it's not.
*edit* well I guess we will never know what truly wrong because you never told us what windows you are using. Good luck, I guess . . .
