Windows genuine?????????????

I reformatted my system and somehow the technician who did it installed a pirated version!! I downloaded a movie in wmv. format, but now i cant play it because it requires the newest version of windows media player. I am unable to update the player because my copy is not genuine!! Is there any way to play the file without updating my whole system????

Ten points for a answer that works!

There is a way yes that wont do u any bad or to the computer;

1. You have to try to install Windows Media Player 11 ( which u probably already did )

2. Copy and paste " C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Windows Genuine Advantage\ "

3. Double click the folder " Data " ( only thing there )

4. Delete the only file inside

5. Before you install, unplug ur internet ( this way the file doesnt recover it after you delete it )

6. Install it.

When u plug your internet wire back in, the file will recover itself and u wont be able access this folder again unless you decide for some reason to reinstall Windows Media Player 11.
