"Computers with Windows XP failing an online WGA validation check will have their desktop background go black, which is not the same as the "black screen" in the general sense. The black desktop background will not impact the computer's functions or lead to a shutdown. For example, if you are writing a document on Microsoft Word and the desktop background suddenly goes black, it will not affect your computer's operations or cause you to lose currently-active files," Microsoft China's customer service staff recently cleared up the misunderstanding for some users.
Are there any other solutions to the upcoming "black screen"? According to Microsoft China, users can choose not to participate in Windows Genuine Advantage and it will not affect their normal operations and updates. In other words, users can choose not to update upon receiving a reminder about an update download and the "black screen" trouble will not occur frequently. However, if users choose not to participate in WGA, their computers run the high risk of being attacked by viruses and Trojan programs.
