I got this computer from a friend. I have been using it and recieving
automatic updates from windows with no trouble until about 1 week ago. Now
each time I start up I get a message that I may be using a counterfeit
version of Windows XP Professional 2002. I went through microsoft support
only to be told that I cannot recieve any help until I pay a $35.00 fee.
Does anyone know why this has just occured? And how I can clear this
message from my startup? I have been using this computer for almost one year
and have had it on DSL since January 16, 2006. I just don't understand why
it wasn't showing up as counterfeit until now.
