Subject: [access-uk] Genuin Windows Validation
Hi all.
I purchased a second hand computer from one of our well-known lists a week
or so ago. It had XP Home Professional on it. On about Wednesday of last
week, I received, on boot up, without requesting it, a message from
Microsoft, stating that many computers may have illegal softwear on-board
and would I like to install their program which would check my computer for
me.
I could check the boxes titled, Yes or No, but no box saying, Don't show me
this message again.
So I selected no, as I don't believe in using illegal software.
Unfortunately, every time since Wednesday, when I booted up, I was asked the
same question and had to say Yes or No.
On Friday night, I got so frustrated with this I answered Yes.
My computer installed the software and rebooted and imediately informed me
that my operating system did not pass the validation process, adding that I
may have been the victim of software counterfitting.. It went on to say
Click Resolve to get help with this problem or resolve later.
This copy of Windows did not pass genuine windows validation.
I was taken onto a Microsoft site and told that for the sum of ninty nine
pounds, I could get a genuine product key for my computer.
Obviously I
quit this page and continued with my tasks.
Unfortunately, every time I now boot up I get the same box telling me that I
have been the victim of software counterfitting.
Can anyone tell me how to stop this. I'm convinced that the OS is genuine,
as I got a local engineer to re-install the OS and associated drivers and he
would have advised me if the CD was not a genuin Microsoft product.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
