[Guest jonescountry2007]

Hi, My name is Sarah. I received this computer as a gift that my friend

picked up at a yard sale .I just plugged it up and was fortunate to get AOL

free for 90 day's . I am Disabled and waiting on my Social Security to begin

.. I was just clicking around and found the Microsoft update site and was

excited when I started updating and my computer started working better . Then

I received a message that said "This copy did not pass genuine validation" .

WOW ! So I read up on the situation a bit and learned that I needed to

contact you . Please help ! I don't know what to do . And please tell me your

not going to take my computer away because it's the best thing that's happen

to me in a long time , sad but true . I want to Thank you for your time and

help . Sincerely , Sarah Ann Johnson

Since you are using windows 2000, there should be no issue with
