This is really ridiculous. I need to download to my friend's computer updates except I can't even download the shitty windows validation tool to get to them.
Here's the short rundown.
1. I am behind a linksys router and it's firewall is on but it shouldn't matter...I think.
2. This is a Windows XP SP1 that the computer is using.
If you need to ask any questions, please do.

Run Windows Updates.
Let the validation tool install.
Tools->Manage Add-ons
Disable LegitCheckControl.dll

Uh, I don't think you read correctly. It won't even download into my pal's computer through Windows Update.

Do you have anti-virus running? If so, turn it off then try.

Bypass the validation tool.
When it has buttons for Express and Custom, paste this into the address bar and hit enter, then continue on your merry way.
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

...Genuine check? Grrr, yea like searching "validation tool" would've found that. Way to go, people at Microsoft.
Thank you, Faram.
