Solved Windows 7 login screen problem says wrong version.

[ThePathOfBlood]

Problem you may ask?? Well the login screen says I have Windows 7 professional.....

Could it be a custom background image?

Sir I am watching that video you've provided to check my registrey and files, appreciate the posting I will let you know if anything has changed, though doubt it as I said I've never done anything that involves login screen changing

Something weird ? It`s a diagnostic report from Microsoft that generates a report that tells us if your Windows is Genuine and activated properly, why are you afraid to run it and post the results for Noel to look over ?

Why are you arrogant that you want me to post a windows 7 product key here? hmmm, not that stupid... to post a key here, and other stuff... sure, if this was a microsoft website I would... but I'm not american nor from a 2nd-3rd world country I can read 100% correctly.

p.s


before calling someone afraid, you should think before you talk it's not made by microsoft one bit, it's a simple run command application that gives all systems information and more.... there's loads floating around on google... sir I'm not that much of an idiot.... Although I don't know more than 80% about computers, and only study "game and creation " at plymouth city college united kingdom, doen't mean i'm as dumb as a 10 year old on an xbox or a console who's new to PC's.


I suggest you stop trying to look for my product key and quit it.

I guess that you don't know that the report does not contain the product key.

does about 4 lines down, it cuts out the first bunch of letters.

edit - 5 lines down cuts out the first 10 letters/numbers , under that is product id

Hi,
No telling it might be worth a try
You could get with M$ support by phone and let them take control and see if they can figure it out what is going on :/

Never asked you to post a product key, we have never asked someone to post their product key, I know full well it does not post the key, do you think this is the first time it`s been asked to be run here. I asked you to run the windows genuine diagnostic report because of all the boogus Ultimate installs we see here. I put in a PM to Noel.

I am not arrogant, and once again, you are being very rude.

I am a Professional Computer Technician and I do not need your useless oem Windows 7 Ultimate key.

I know. I've read 100s of them. It is not a big deal to post the report. But I don't care about it.

Perhaps, you can use the info in the video to just cover up the wrong version info.

After checking this, when it gets to the "logonUI / Background" I see 2 files [default] [OEMBackground]


and even in the windows 7 system 32 folders, I see a bunch of updates for yesterday, maybe it is custom theme? how do i delete all of this?

 

[AddRAM]

He will not get any help from Microsoft Mike as the software is oem.

 

[UsernameIssues]

Is OEMBackground set to 0?

If not, set it to 0.

What gives you the impression that it is OEM?

 

[ThePathOfBlood]

Is OEMBackground set to 0?

If not, set it to 0.

That didn't work can I just delete the registry thing? and all the background images from the folder?

I said It was OEM, and so does the windows 7 case.

 

[AddRAM]

Did you read the 1st post UI ?

 

[UsernameIssues]

Is OEMBackground set to 0?

If not, set it to 0.

That didn't work can I just delete the registry thing? and all the background images from the folder?

If that OEMBackground registry value is set 0, then deleting it will not help.

As I mentioned earlier, you can use the steps shown in that video to have the log on screen say anything that you want. You might want to pick one of the background images in that folder or create your own.

Sorry AddRAM. I thought that the tool mentioned in the OP might have added the OEMBackground registry value. I forgot about the first part of the post were the OP clearly stated that the OS is OEM :-(

 

[AddRAM]

No problem

I am left with 2 choices, reinstall windows "high chance of fix" secondly "custom theme " as mentioned

Would reinstalling windows 7 fix is? I have no problem doing that as all my main programs and stuff are ON my HD drive, I only use my SSD for my Operating system.

I am left with 2 choices, reinstall windows "high chance of fix" secondly "custom theme " as mentioned

If you re-install Windows i expect you will need to re-install all your programs that are installed on the HD.
There are registry entries that won't work after a Windows re-install.

Before you re-install, create a System Backup Image of your drive so you can recover. I use Macrium Reflect free for backup images.
