Vista Genuine

[Guest]

"This copy of Windows is not genuine". After an update about a month ago, I
recieved this message. Validating it on Microsoft's site has not worked
either. Suggestions?

I got this after I upgraded my memory to 4GB. It said in no uncertain terms
that I was pirating their software. After paying hundreds of dollars for
their product, I would have liked to face the person who put that little
piece in the software! I would not have been nice.

At first I had forgotten that this would be an issue with Vista. I thought
I was under a virus attack. It started unhooking all the Vista Ultimate
features I paid for. When I realized what had happened and called a lady in
India who gave me the codes I needed, I then had to go back and set all the
Vista Ultimate features I paid for up again! I would have preferred that
Bill Gates fly out here to Andalusia, Alabama, and redo the damage he
caused.

You are the one that caused the "damage" by taking un needed measures before
seeking help with your problem, no one to blame but you for the route you
took.

Like what? What unneeded measure did I take. Microsoft unloaded on me
without telling me what I did. Eventually they got to the point where they
said to call, but they still didn't tell me what it was all about. The
features are unhooked before they tell you why and what to do about it. j

By the way, are you the idiot who designed that mess?

Not the route to take for the situation, the only idiot here seems to be
you.
