krit86lr Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 So, I just tried to download Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile Update Beta. And this is what I got. What's going on with that? And how to I fix it? Windows Pro Media 8.1 x64 | 8GB Ram | 500G HDD 7200 RPM | All that I know about my graphics is that it's Intel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 get a non-pirated version of windows. if it isn't pirated, go complain at Microsoft. edit: btw: did you use Firefox or IE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 First of all! I do not use pirated software and I'm insulted that you implied that I do. If I was using pirated software I would not have posted this. This just happened for the first time about 15 minutes ago. I paid for my software! I have the receipts to prove it. Why did this just start happening today? I was using IE. I just ran the MGA (microsoft genuine advantage) diagnostics tool. I'm posting the result.

I get email notifications from MS about new downloads. I went thru that link and it is Microsoft.com. I haven't tried the activeX validation method because it didn't give me the option, and I don't know how to make it give me the option. Could it possibly be because I changed some hardware today in my PC? edit: have you checked the requirments? Ah! My processor doesn't meet the requirements. I'll try another download and see if it works. Thanks for that Aaron.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 "You chose to validate by the alternative (non-ActiveX) validation method which requires a download of an executable." edit: yup, i follow others and go for the easy stuff first.

krit86lr Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Phew. Okay it validated for a different download. Now I wonder why Validation diagnostic tool didn't validate me. I'm posting on MS's Validation forum now.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 just curious, did you download the same thing or an earlier or later version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 just curious, did you download the same thing or an earlier or later version? Something completely different, but it still required a validation. Why?

Well so far all that is know is that the diagnostic tool has a glitch in it. Today the diagnostic tool gave me a Genuine Status. I told them to fix it.
