    Erm, it's not a legit copy of windows. It was on the PC when I bought it around 6 months ago and I cannot open the video clip emails.

    When I try, it takes me to the validation section of Microsoft that confirms I may be operating with counterfeit software.

    So, I'm after something that I can download to view such clips.

    Thanks

    You can get a discounted version of xp/vista by telling them the situation.

    Exactly, the OP is essentially asking to circumvent MS's own copy protection mechanisms because they have an illegal copy of windows, I think that falls under the illegal topics section of the forum rules.
