Suddenly Windows 7 is not genuine

I am sorry, I dont get what is the checkSUR and I dont find it... is it a something I must install?

MS really messed around with that page - it used to be simple flat-formatted.
click on the Method2 + sign (under the Resolution header) - it expands to a list of downloads.
You want the Windows 7 x64 version
While it's downloading (it's a big file!) read the 'more information' section.

ok, I got it. Thank you... downloading now

ok done... the checkSUR.log was rather small, so I just copied/pasted its content:

Those arrors are pretty much standard, AFAIK - try it on your own m/c :)
we already tried SFC ealrlier with no problems.

So they are, my mistake. I wonder why though.

That seems to have done a fair amount of work!
Something must have tripped, somewhere?
- and there's no record of any earlier SFC scan

Please run another scan, and post the new log - it'll tell us if anything remains to be done.

Well that was lucky! :)

It's Friday, and my local has changed landladies.....

Even I'm not brave enough to try posting anything sensible ATM!

The times where I'm right are limited, so I'll enjoy it whilst I can

I'm impressed you managed to spell everything correctly! Or was it autocorrect?
