windows geniune problem

[twdawson]

OK i hope someone can help.

Every couple of days when i start my notebook i get the error screen saying that my version of windows is not geniune and i get the option of "get geniune now or remind me later" i click on cancel and everything is fine.
I know my copy is geniune as it was sent to me by the manufacturer of the notebook as the free upgrade program from vista to 7 as i bought the notebook a month before 7 came out.

We have also had this happen on the daughters netbook as well which has a geniune copy of 7 on it.

Can anybody tell me what is going on.?

In order for W7 to be deemed genuine, it must be activated either online or by phone.

That has been done since December. I activated it online when i first installed windows.

Instead of clicking on cancel when you get that option, click on OK or "Go online to resolve now". Many a times, that solves the problem.

Also, look around this forum. There are numerous threads on this subject.

Try doing it again...see if that clears up your problem... some times this issue crops up and re-activating it will usually fix it...

I spend more and more time resolving problems with windows than actually using it, its starting to get on my nerves.

But when i click cancel and look in the property's it says it geniune.

And here we go again, I just got this on the last reboot.

Did you click on "Get genuine now"?

You should try Windows 7 Loader, but it's not a legal way...

You might want to try a repair install and see if that helps...
