Windows 7 not genuine build 7601 causing problems
I booted up my computer, and saw in the bottom right hand corner of the screen it said Windows 7 not genuine error 7601. I was unable to open any applications except google chrome, and battle.net. it says i am not connected to any network and i am limited in my use of the internet. i can google questions, but i cannot play videos. when i click on an application, the process will show but the app wont run. i try to run it as administrator but that doesnt work either. i tried running my computer in safe mode with command prompt and from there i was able to run chkdsk /r which got rid of the not genuine build 7601 error but i still cant open any applications. i tried looking for the installed updates, but the updates wont show and are stuck loading. i tried restoring my system but there were no restore points. i tried using ms fix it but when i open the file it just loads and the windows installer pops up and says preparing to install and stay like that. i am unable to run command prompt as administrator or anything as administrator. i cannot create a shortcut to my desktop and elevate it to use as administrator either. nothing seems to be working
