it has something to do with windows protection trying to stop people with illegal copies of xp from downloading updates....not sure how it works exactly though....

[the mitch]

I thaught it was a type of wireless security.

[sr71000]

there are two different wpa's one is wireless security, the other is what i described before.

yeah windows verification thingy....................

I went to windows updates yesterday, I had to have this thing installed before I got my updates, bothered me a bit, but I paid for mine legally so I didn't care, but it still bothered me

[sctrt]

The reason I asked was because I don't see a [WPA add-on] in my manage add-ons. I suppose my next question would be is how do I find it?

By the way Gait Keeper how much did they charge you?

Thanks.

I think what he meant was he paid for his software so it is legitimate not a hacked copy.

[sr71000]

jrs is right...i means he paid for xp legally.....so he could download that add on without trouble. (it's free...it's a tool to stop people from getting updates if they have a hacked copy of xp, however it's wicked easy to circumvent..it took less than 24 hrs to crack...poor microsoft.. lol)

[Gait_Keeper]

yes that's what I meant, my copy of XP Pro is legit.

ythis verification thing, I didn't want, but had to have, bothers me. what else are they looking at?

I've also heard that I can not just buy a license to use my legit copy on another machine!!

I want to bulid a new machine, so do I have to buy XP again, why not just the license?

also I use Fire Fox, I only open I.E. for the updates.

So when does this WPA add-on show up in my manage add-ons so I can enable or disable it?

thanks.
