Ok...it says this:

It appears that your Windows Product Key is not valid. Please contact your system administrator or retailer immediately to obtain a valid Product Key.

I guess I cant use two computers with same key? On my other computer it has service pack 2 and all the updates. Its just this one i cannot download any updates.

thanks

While we understand that you may not have been aware, your copy of Windows is not legitimate. Unfortunately, we are unable to help you any further on this site, as we have a strict policy we adhere to in only helping people who have legitmate copies of Windows. Thank you for understanding.
