I am at my wits end with this. I have had my Asus laptop for almost a year with no problems with the OS. After weeks in hospital finally got home and turned on the laptop. Now I am getting repeated error messages saying my OS is not genuine. ANY advice or thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks Celestra. You have really helped me out!!

Thank you for all the help. I very much appreciate it.

Thanks very much everyone. You really saved the day. The key finder app worked beautifully and am very happy to say the reformat and re-install went great.

I have been trying various types of uninstall software to get rid of some stubborn apps that refuse to show up on the list of things installed on my system, so can't get rid of them. One really stubborn program refuses to be uninstalled in any way -- it is Avanquest System Suite 8.

Do you know what key words I should use and maybe a link to the site where I can download this? I was looking just the other day but did not find this update. Thanks.

I have tried multiple times to download windows installer, but apparently am not doing it right. Any suggestions? I am running Vista Ultimate and am having such a fiercely tough time trying to get MS Outlook 2007 to work right due to a faulty install of the Installer app that I have take...

I could really use some good advice. Currently running Vista Ultimate, but no clue where my activation key is. Long story, but my system is cluttered with a lot of partially uninstalled apps. Now, I am seriously thinking of bidding on eBay for Win Vista Business. Questions: 1] If I don't...

Just checking. Is 7 like some advanced SP pack added to Vista, or a whole replacement for Vista? I hope not a replacement already, since I am going to be making a tutorial for people at work in the next month or so. Let me know. Thanks.

I think I will do that -- I mean the reinstall, but come to think of it, reformatting sounds like a better idea. Haven't done that on this particular machine yet.

Thanks very much. Everyone here has been really great. By the end of next week I will be down to just one computer, and Win Vista will be the Only OS at that point. I think right now my major problem may be the IDE drive I have Vista on may have a problem.

I appreciate the advice. Will let you know as soon as I get Vista up and running again. It has crashed. Running drive diagnostics first, and as soon as it is functional I will try that.

I was thinking the same thing. After a bit of reading, now I don't know if it is safe to leave it off, or if it will drive nuts if I leave it on. Now, I just have to get Vista to boot again.

Thank you. I used this same approach you gave me to work on this and another error message. I assume you just enter the message on the MS site and it wil work pretty much like this every time.

Thank you everyone. I am hoping to be up to speed soon and be able to start helping other people with their questions too.
