This copy of Windows is not genuine

[oldspook]

Suddenly my Windows 7 gave me that message. When I tried to activate I got a message that said there was a problem.

Got the run around but still can't activate. No way can I find the phone number to call and get support. What do I do now? Does anyone have the phone number for activation or support?

Did you mess around with services before this happened?

Type slui.exe 4 into the search bar in your start menu, choose your location, and voila.

If you are trying to activate an OEM version i think you need to use slui 3 to activate.

Type slui.exe 4 into the search bar in your start menu, choose your location, and voila.

What is supposed to happen when you do that? On my system, all that happens is an box pops up lower right that says this copy of windows is not genuine. When I click on it, same old procedure which I've done many times. Never does it give a phone number to call and get help.

Not an OEM version, it is an upgrade version.

It's the same number on step 5 in the tutorial I posted.

Thanks for the number, it got me started on a 3 hour phone session with MS techs. After being transfered 4 times, finaly got one that had me run the MSDT tool with a code number. After reboot W7 was activated. I'm not sure what MSDT is or what it did but everything is ok now.
