Guest Gerry Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 XP Pro SP2 Windows is a OEM install and been running fine for the past 4 years and has always passed a WGA check. The most recent update to WGA wiped out my video driver which resulted in the system booting with only a VGA display. I reinstalled the video driver and now have the proper display, but WGA continues to report that Windows is not genuine. I ran through the validation process and received a pass, but WGA continues to tell me my OS is not genuine. I restored the entire drive from a backup prior to installing the latest WGA but I am still getting the not genuine error. How can I get things back to normal?
