Alright, since I will get no tech support from anyone on these forums b/c I stated I have a pirated copy of XP, I went to my local Best Buy store and bought a genuine version of Windows XP Pro. They only had a few left. I now have my genuine version of XP up and running.

I did this because now I can get those updates I wanted and I can download other Microsoft things that require validation, and I also did this so I can continue to get great support on these forums.
