Error Message - Where Does it Come From

Where did you get WIn7? How long has it been installed?

Was there anything that was done before you got the error message?

I would try reactivating with the retail Product Key to see what happens. It may resolve the issue, or it may be rejected leading to Activate Windows 7 by Phone


If all fails activation you have the option to file a case with MS Customer Service to investigate non-genuine software you were sold. If you cooperate with this they may award you a free copy.

WHS: That was a good video and all fine and dandy but I didn't have Process Explorer running.

Gregrocker: I have had Win 7 Pro installed for several years without this message. Also, the message was on my desktop after I came back to the PC from several hours being away, so I don't know if something tried to install or what. Also, I went into Control Panel/System and did a Windows activation there and everything seems to be OK.

In the System Event Viewer there was a message: The start type of the Windows Modules Installer service was changed from demand start to auto start and then: The start type of the Windows Modules Installer service was changed from auto start to demand start but I didn't initiate those. It's almost like something tried to install.

Also, just before I got back on the PC, the Application Event log showed: The Software Protection service has completed licensing status check with a bunch of information below the message. Could this check have caused the message?

What anti-virus suite are you running?

That is a normal message for when there is a pending install - possibly of an update. you can safely ignore it.

There are no obvious problems in the MGADiag report - are you seeing the non-genuine notification all the time, (bottom right of the desktop)? - or does it come and go?

Please attempt validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate using Internet Explorer - what happens?
