Windows 7 Build 7601 Not Geniune error

This almost identical to another machine I'm helping with elsewhere - I'd love to find out if there's anything in common between the two.....
Please open MSINFO32 and use File Save to produce a report, then zip it and attach it to yor reply as well

Make sure that you get the spaces right in the command -
I'll highlight them here.....

DIR<space> C:\Windows<space> /AR<space> /S<space> >%userprofile%\desktop\flist.txt

It should work fine if you just copy/paste the one from post #10 (at least it works for me!)


Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the CP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

OK - try this then -, run both commands, then find the file for attachment (in C:\test)

MD C:\test
DIR C:\Windows /AR /S >C:\test\flist.txt

Great - and i have discovered why there are such a large number of files:)

The vast majority are in the C:\Windows\Installer tree - on my main system that amounts to 2257 files out of 2279!

I wish I'd checked before, now :)

I need to have a rethink.

Everything else looks normal enough.

Hmm - best check those numbers anyhow - please run the following command and post the number of files found

DIR C:\Windows\Installer /AR /S
