It means that your copy of Windows is a pirated version and it wont allow you to use the Windows Update feature. Its highly recommended that you get yourself a legal copy of Windows XP Professional, or if you do have a legal copy, contact Microsoft Technical Support and send a photo of your COA/manual/disc along with the registration details you provided at the time of registering Windows XP.

This means that u are in possession of an Illegal copy of windows XP !

Either approach ur comp vendor for licensing issues or buy an original copy urself !

Do that b4 the microsoft ppl knock (with ur local police) on ur door and arrest u !

If you are having original copy of XP Pro and then not able to update then do the following

Install X-Setup (search for it through google) under the virtual paranoia key name click on user data. Now i think you are smart enough to understand what you have do.
