For the longest I have had "not genuine" version. Not true - this came preinstalled on IBM laptop! Now I can't get online because it is saying a certificate can't be found or is expired.1 person needs an answerI do too

You may need to update your root certificates. Quoting from KB931125 :<Quote>Root Update Package (intended for Windows XP only)For users running Windows XP, the root update package will update the list of root certificates on your computer to the list that is accepted by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft Root Certificate Program. The file is updated periodically to add or remove root certificates or CAs from distribution by the Program.The file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe</Quote>HTH, JW
