This Version of Windows is not genuine.
I got the above message 3 times when starting my machine up this morning, a few clicks of the mouse and all of a sudden it came to life.
The Version of Windows I've got is a genuine version with the access code etc etc.
Any ideas to what this could be?

Re: This Version of Windows is not genuine.
Have you double checked that the software is genuine?

Re: This Version of Windows is not genuine.
I had this on a mate's laptop... I just entered the code that was on a sticker on the base and it was accepted. A scare tactic by M$ perhaps?

Re: This Version of Windows is not genuine.
It seems to be OK now for some strange reason.

Re: This Version of Windows is not genuine.
Windows does that when it detects hardware changes.
They can randomly happen from time to time if something's flakey, disconnects intermittently or you left something unplugged.

I've installed a new graphics card, that might have something to do with it.
