May I ask why you are running windows with a product key that belongs to an Acer/Gateway/Packard system when your system is not manufactured by any of those companies?

I'm not sure what you mean. I had this pc assembled in a pc store with windows on it. A friend of mine has installed windows on it 2 or 3 times last 2 years because of virus problems.
Unfortunately the friend who installed windows for you is using a product key that should not be used with a custom built computer like yours. My best advice don't let him touch your computer again and go out and buy a full retail product key for windows then it doesn't matter what computer you put it on. also unfortunately since your install of windows is illegal we can not provide further help until you have re-installed with a legal copy of windows and posted this:Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions
Oh ok. Thank you for your advice. I do not know much about computers so my friend usually fixes it for me. I'll be buying a legal copy then. Thanks.
