I was updating laptop with microsoft downloads when I was not allowed to continue due to the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification - KB905474. I was not permitted to install 118 downloads. How do I remedy this situation. My laptop was originally used for business and the purchasing co. wiped clean the Vista operating system and software and added XP Professional. I have successfully added SP3.
