This copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation

Hi, you have to activate your windows once again, in order to run genuine windows. To do that either you have to purchase the windows key or activate it via a tool.

Read here the full process -

Activate windows via key

This means that your license copy is pirated. If recently purchased and installed you should report it back to vendor or if this one is just a new message after Operating system being in use from last few days then you should report it to Microsoft support ( if licensed copy ). Follow the link to check for Genuine Validation

Hey Hi Shalin,
I believe u r not using the key that either is tagged with a branded system or on the cover of the WINDOWS XP DISK. Here, by Volume License Key (VLK) is meant that the PRODUCT KEY FOR WINDOWS XP has been used number of times and after that MICROSOFT has blocked it and it will work with the Computer from which it was registered.. In order to stop piracy MICROSOFT has done that, when a pirated version of windows is used online MICROSOFT record few details like MAK, Hard Drive Serial Number and few important details regarding the pc and on finding the PRODUCT KEY fraud they install WINDOWS GENUINE ADVANTAGE PLUG-IN into the system... If u have paid for the LICENSED VERSION of windows xp then contact the support person from where u bought it otherwise there are ways to remove it as well for that u can follow these steps....

STEPS TO REMOVE WINDOWS GENUINE ADVANTAGE

1. If you have only just installed Windows Genuine Advantagenotifications, simply using the system restore function will remove theprogram. Then refuse to accept the WGA update next time Windowsupdates... Otherwise, proceed as detailed below. (NOTE: If you try these steps while you are in "Safe Mode," step #8 is unnecessary).
2. First Try the Following:
3. - Open a CMD Line Window by Clicking on Start ==>Run ==> type CMD and Press OK.
4. - Change Directory into the System32 Folder (Like Cd c:WindowsSystem32)
5. - Open a notepad Window and type the following lines:
6. taskkill -IM wgatray.exe
7. del wgatray.exe
8. del wgalogon.dll
9. - Highlight and copy to the Clipboard the three lines above
10. - now Paste the the contents of the Clipboard to the CMD Window
11. This should kill the wgatray.exe Process from the Taskbar andimediately delete both files wgatray.exe and wgalogon.dll without theneed to to go through all steps bellow.
12. If that does not work, then continue and follow the steps bellow
13. Open System32 by either A or B of the following methods:
    
    
    • a) Click "Start", "Run", then type-in "System32". Click "Okay".
    • b) Find System32 manually by clicking "Start" > "My Computer"> "(X:)" (Replacing "X" with the drive letter of the host ofWindows) > "Windows" > "System32".
      
      
14. In "System32", go to "Tools" > "Folder options" > click onthe tab, "View" > Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types". Now you can begin...
15. Check to make sure the window that comes up has a full screen ofvarious files. The files are in alphabetical order, which makes iteasier to locate the specific file.
16. Find "WgaLogon.dll" and rename it "WgaLogon.dll.bak".
17. Create an empty copy of WgaLogon.dll:
    
    
    • Right click on a blank space in System32 and select "New" > "Text Document".
    • Leave the text document empty and label it "WgaLogon.dll". Press Enter (on your keyboard).
    • You may get a warning from the above step that says, "If you change a file name extension, the file may become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it?". Click "Yes" on this warning.
18. Be ready to complete the next two steps very quickly! Find"WgaTray.exe" in "System32" and delete it. You will then have 5 secondsto find "WgaTray.exe" in the Task Manager (the next step). NOTE: If you remove the files mentioned above while you are in "Safe Mode," step #8 is unnecessary.
19. Immediately open Task Manager. You can do this by pressing the Ctrl,Shift, and Esc keys simultaneously, pressing the Ctrl, Alt, and Deletekeys simultaneously, or right clicking the Taskbar and selecting "TaskManager". Click on the process tab and click end process when"WgaTray.exe" is selected. Note: If you take longer, do not panic!All that will happen is that "WgaTray.exe" will keep reapearing in theprocesses list (i.e. you won't be able to delete it as required). Toremove the notifications after this, return to system32. You will findtwo files:"WgaLogon.dll.bak" (the one you renamed) and an ApplicationExtension (0KB) called "WgaLogon.dll". Delete the ApplicationExtension, rename "WgaLogon.dll.bak" to "WgaLogon.dll" and repeat thesteps from the fifth one onwards (at a greater speed!!).
20. Restart your computer once you have finished. All the notification messages should be gone.
