Vista - Passing Validation

I purchased Vista online yesterday, and I have tried two times to download
it. Both times it gets to 99% downloaded, and then it gives me an error
stating that "the downloaded item didn't pass validation." I ran a
compatibility check with my computer, and the check told me that Basic was
the version I should use.

Has anyone had a problem with this? I'm getting frustrated with Windows
because of this and other download issues

Which version is your present OS. Is it a legal validated version of Windows?

I am using Windows XP, and all the updates from the website are installed.
It is a legal version.
