Did you install the update or install MSE?So I went to Windows Anytime Update and purchased the Professional version...
It goes through a "certified windows" process to begin with (as being this is a new computer and loaded by the vendor - there was no issues)
I got the Professional verison running, complete with numerous programs in XP Mode
It worked for about a day..... then started getting all sorts of wierd things happening....
A) Part way through the windows load - it would state that I had to register my windows version - and when I hit the "update online" box - it would say that it is unavailable
B)When windows7 booted up - I have a black background (no Windows 7 background)
C) in the bottom right corner of my computer - I would get the "non geniune windows product text"
D) None of the Microsoft related pages (including my MSN homepage) wouldn't load - for security reasons
I attempted to due the "registration of windows geniune product countless times.... resorted to using the phone to register again to no avail
I restored twice... gone through all the XP Mode downloads again to come up to almost the same conditions....
Whether this is related or not - I have no idea.... but my computer clock was somehow no longer sync'd and my computer date was indicating 2007..... after I reset my clock to the proper setting, I restored for a third time... and back to normal..
(is this related to WAT)
