Validating Windows XP - Aaargh

[Russell.Butturini at Healthways.com (Butturini, Russell)]

It sounds like Windows Genuine Advantage has picked up something amiss
with your install (blacklisted key, significant hardware change, etc.)
Agreed, the course of action would be to call the piracy line and see
what they think.

Did you recently reinstall? Did it work before and now acting  
strange?  The OS really does not know where you are so merely having a  
us copy in the UK would not "break" the validation. I would call the  
Microsoft piracy line at 1-800-RULEGIT
