my laptop runs windows xp professional and i can't get any new updates for it
because i took the genuine microsoft test and it failed. the test said that
the product key wasn't registered or doesn't match, but i changed it and it
still said that it's not registered. i would greatly appreciate it if someone
out there can help me with this problem. thank you.
