My vista internet explorer won't work, certificate error. No updates, and won't update. How can I get vista drivers on a disk?

You may have a problem with your WINDOWS GENUINE AUTHENTICATION CERTIFICATE. That would tell Microsoft you have a copy of the OS installed instead installed from an original Microsoft Installation CD. No updates, IE doesn't function correctly, and other unfavorable results. You can try to go to Microsoft web page and check the availability of a WINDOWS GENUINE AUTHENTICATION TOOL DOWNLOAD.
First I would like you to visit: http://support.microsoft.com/ph/9860 . This site is the Windows Genuine Advantage Solution Center and may provide you with recommendations for resolving your situation. Next visit the follow site and validate your computer @ http://www.genuine.com/genuine . Next click on "Validate Windows" in the upper right hand corner. Please follow the guidance and restart your computer. Try and update your computer again.

Your OS is genuine Microsoft Windows, but it has one of those product keys that Microsoft.com
has decided is invalid, usually since it has already been installed (and activated over the internet)
too many times already. The home versions can only be activated 10 times before any future activations are disallowed.
Microsoft solution: buy a Windows 7 install CD for your laptop, and install.
Your solution: hunt around for an install CD from your friends/relatives/etc. with a product key that's
been activated fewer than 10 times, and ask the owner if you can use up one of their 10.

I am a victim of software counterfeiting.my windows did not pass windows genuine validation.

This means that the version of Windows XP you are using is not a genuine copy.
This happens when you install a copy of Windows XP which does not match the serial key you used for installing.
Your Operating System (OS) has been blocked.
I advise you to immediately remove this copy of Windows XP by installing a genuine copy.
You can either buy a genuine copy or borrow a genuine copy from a friend and install.
You can use a copy which has already been installed on another pc and you will not have any problems as long as it is a genuine copy.

What is the genuine advantage and my pc is genuine also

Your question isn't very clear, but Geniune Advantage is Microsoft's attempt at stopping software piracy. If you have Windows XP, this was released as a Windows update a few years back. I am pretty sure it was built into Vista when Vista was released.
The Genuine Advantage checks back with Microsoft to make sure that your CD key is valid. In addition, it uses an algorithm of information from your PC parts to create a sort of signature file that Microsoft maintains. This is so that you can't buy one copy of Windows and install it on 10 machines.
Once you run the Genuine Advantage software and register your PC and Windows install with Microsoft, it shoudn't bother you again unless you do some major hardware upgrades.
