Microsoft has just implemented a program called Genuine Advantage that is used to check for pirated copies of Windows during Automatic Updates. If you've encountered this problem, and aren't able to run automatic updates, here are the instructions on how to get around it.

You can also do it this way too:

Just don't install Service Pack 2. That's what usually causes most people to have problems. You should really also check pretty often for new security updates. It doesn't take long for someone to write a worm/virus/trojan for any vulnerabilities found in Windows.
