WTF??? VISTA NOT GENUINE?!?!?

[Guest]

Ok well here is my problem: I got Vista 2 days ago and installed it normally.
Later that day something failed and I had to retype my product key in again.
After I am done, on the lower-right side of my desktop it says:

Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6000
This copy of Windows is not genuine

Fake my ass! If I spent $260 dollars, on CompUSA.com, for Windows Vista with
COD, and holographic DVD, it must be a pretty good fake....
My point: Anyone can help me with this? Or remove that message?(A buddie of
mine made a joke about me being a software pirate)

Please visit http://www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on Validate Windows, then restart your computer.

Yes, acually that was the first thing I did. So what now?

I recommend that you try the online WGA Troubleshooter to identify the
cause of the issue and its resolution: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag

Or better yet, take it back to CompUSA and ask nicely for a switch. If that
doesn't work, go ballistic.

My bad. I missed where you made an online purchase.

Did you purshase it as part of the Family Package last week. If so they
handed out a lot of bad keys but from what I saw keys sent late Friday
solved the problem. In any casse contact MS.

do you have quickbooks 2007 installed?
there is a conflict between it and vista, microsoft has released a patch. do
microsoft updates.
