| Vista Home Premium 32bit | "This Copy of Windows Vista is not Genuine" Alright before you say it My Vista is a "Valid" purchase, its not a copy, I got the @#@! receipt to prove it. With that out of the way, yesterday i was just chugging along and I lose my connection to internet and my background picture goes black. I thought no big deal just reboot right? Well when I did that it said I needed to reactivate my vista because my version was not valid. WTF I bought this the right way so I wouldn't have these problems. Anywho reactivated my copy and at the bottom it still says Windows Vista (TM) under that "Build 6001" and under that "This copy of Windows is not Genuine" now I saw a post that was close with people having this same problem but there was no resolution. I am no way tech savy to (helllooo Fireman here) so I didn't go anywhere I shouldn't have (I don't think) But bottom line What the hell is the fix?!?! Please dont reply to this if you think my vista is a cracked version lets just say for the sake of argument and my patience that it is the real deal (bought it through Amazon) Thanks! Fireguy32 |
