If your validation has stopped being "genuine", that could be a reason. Try
the Validation procedure again. Mine is doing it all the time, "Genuine"
then "not Genuine". I'm still going through the email process with
Microsoft. Might be worse than the Pony Express. An email every couple
days to try something. I try it report back and another couple days waiting
on another one. Oh well.

Stan.
