You MUST use the 32-bit version of IE9 - not the 64-bit version.
If you're having problem then, check validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag and www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate

From the following WEB page http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/exe-validation.aspx?id=29156 I downloaded GenuineCheck.exe as required.
However on executing the program I got the following error message
"This version of the Windows Genuine Advantage tool is no longer supported. Please download the newest version and ensure that your system clock is accurate"
Downloaded a copy from Microsoft but the tool requires Windows XP to load.
Is there a Windows 7 version?
So where do I get a copy of the latest version?
Windows for home | Previous Windows versions | Windows update

2012-09-04T19:03:39+00:00 I had the same problem. After checking the replies here I tried several things to get the proper file to no avail. I was Operating in Chrome. As a last resort I tried it in IE9 and it validaterd immediatley. I suggest you try this first.
