| | Vista Windows Update Jan 27th Causes Re-Activation of Windows Hello Vista Ultimate downloaded and installed 2 updates yesterday including Office Live Add-In. This morning when I booted my PC I got "Your copy of Windows has been activated successfully" then "You may be the victim of counterfeit software. Windows Dreamscene etc.." What's all that about? Any ideas? |

| | Re: Vista Windows Update Jan 27th Causes Re-Activation of Windows Thanks Mike However, nothing new has been installed on this PC recently, no downloads or other infections and my PC is 100% genuine Microsoft software. The only difference is the Microsoft updates.
