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
verification. How are things at San Diego State?
