computer from a computer fair and unknown to me it appears that I am
running a non genuine vista, how can I activate without spending the
money for a vista ultimate key,it will cost me a fortune.thanks
Are you sure your copy isn't genuine? A quick Google shows that there
are some software titles that can cause Vista to report that it isn't
genuine
(

If it really isn't genuine, you can always report it
(
http://www.microsoft.com/oem/english/licensing/gsi/default.mspx, look
for the report piracy box in the right-hand side of the page), but I
don't think you are going to be able to get it activated without
purchasing a license. I do have vague memories of MS giving a discount
to people who reported vendors selling or distributing non-genuine
versions of Vista, but I'm not positive and don't have time to research
it right now.
Good luck!
