    What are you talking about???

    The checker can be downloaded from the MS update site and will give you a number to return to MS so it can verify whether or not the OS is valid.

    You might also be talking about t.. ...... ............ ....................!

    Thanks lads but thats not what i'm looking for. Genuinecheck.exe is the non Active X way of verifying XP for WGA. I'll keep searching anyway.

    Out of curiousity how did you do it ?

    I've been looking for a standalone of the Active-X that Terminal Server 200 uses when you connect via tsweb.

    I shouldn't have been so lazy and just posted it!

    I turned off WGA in Internet options/programs/manage add ons. Then went to update as normal. It gives you the option to download it then.
