You may be a victim of software counterfieting..What gives????

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:52:21 Z

I got the same thing popped up this morning, unreal - everything is legit, activd online twice, did the phone thing too.... nothing works - aero is disabled and i can't set any theme.... not only that but after running xp for 4+ years w/o a BSOD I have been getting Vista BSOD's 2-3 times a week since I finally installed it 2 months ago. This is really frustrating to say the least.

Here's my diag info, any help would be appreciated.

Hello Swiss Cheese,

Your Vista is showing Genuine and I don't see any other errors. Sometines a program can have an error at bootup that may cause Vista to go Non-Genuine for a split second. Vista immediatly recovers from the error and returns to a Genuine state, but unfotunatly, it can take up to two reboots for all of Vista's systems to reset to the Genuine state.

Would you reboot twice and see if Vista still shows as Non-Genuine.

If Vista still shows as non-Genuine, I recommend opening a (no cost) support request at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52029

Thank you,
Darin MS

Thanks for the reply, over the course of the past 2 days i've rebooted about a dozen times and this is what it still shows (and it's still in crippled mode)

You may be a victim of software counterfieting..What gives????

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:07:01 Z

just as an update, I got the below 3 days ago and sent numerous requests for a followup....... nothing to be heard from. nice.

Dear Wojciech,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Windows Update Support. My name is Vito, and I am glad to work with you. You can contact me directly by sending an email to my account: v-30vipa@mssupport.microsoft.com with the Case ID SRX1106375020 in the subject line.

From your description, I understand a message was received stating you may be a victim of software counterfieting. If I have misunderstood your concern, feel free to let me know.

I understand the inconvenience you have experienced. Please be assured that I will do my best to help you.

The validation issue can be caused by several factors, such as incorrect local system settings or an incorrect Product Key. The troubleshooting process can be time consuming, but please be assured that I will assist you through the course of this case.

Before moving on, please let me know if you have visited the MGA Diagnostic webpage located at the address below:

http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/

On the above website, we can test some system settings and confirm that there are no Internet Explorer (IE) settings or other factors blocking the validation process.

If you have accessed the site but the validation issue persists, I suggest we try the following steps to test this issue:

Step 1: Test the issue in Clean Boot
===========================
1. Click the "Start" Button, type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search field and press the "Enter" key to start "System Configuration Utility".

Note: System Configuration Utility requires administrative privileges, please click "Continue" when the User Account Control dialog-box appear.

2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).

3. Click the "Startup" tab and take note of the items that are checked and the items that are unchecked, as we will want to return your computer to this configuration when we are finished. After you have noted the checked items, click "Disable all".

4. Click "OK".

After that, please restart the computer and validate the system again to check if the issue still persists.

NOTE: We can check on Normal Startup in the General tab to roll back to Normal Mode after we get this issue resolved.

Step 2: Run the MGA Diagnostic Tool to troubleshoot this issue
===============================================
1. Please open Internet Explorer and visit the following link to download the MGA Diagnostic Tool:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

2. Save the "MGADiag.exe" file to the "Desktop", and then double click on the file to run the tool.
3. Click the “Continue” button.
4. Under the “Windows” tab, click the "Resolve" button if it is highlighted.
5. Restart the computer and visit the following website to validate Windows again.

http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.aspx?displaylang=en

However, if an error is still encountered when validating Windows, please capture a screenshot for further research:

Screenshot:
=========
1. When the error appears, please press the "Print Screen" key (PrtScn) on your keyboard.
2. Click the "Start" Button, point to "All Programs", point to "Accessories" and then click "Paint".
3. In the Paint program, click the "Edit" menu, click "Paste", click the "File" menu, and click "Save", the "Save As" dialogue box will appear. Type a file name in the "File name:" box, for example: screenshot1.
Note: Make sure "JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)" is selected in the "Save as type" box. Save the screenshot file to your "Desktop".
4. Please return to the "Desktop" and find the screenshot file we have saved and send it to me as a mail attachment to v-30vipa@mssupport.microsoft.com.

In order to provide more effective suggestions, please also assist me in collecting the following information.

WGA Diagnostic Result
================
1. Please locate the "MGADiag.exe" file we downloaded to the "Desktop" earlier
2. Double click on the file to run the tool.
3. Click the “Continue” button.
4. Under the “Windows” tab, click the "Copy" button.
5. Open an email, and paste (when editing the email, press Ctrl + V) the information collected by the tool.
6. Please send the email to me at v-30vipa@mssupport.microsoft.com

Note: When attaching files to emails, the process will vary depending on the email application being used. While you are composing the email, most applications will provide you with either an "Attach" button or Paper Clip Icon to click in order to attach a file. After clicking this button/icon you must browse to the file you wish to attach and select it by either double clicking it or clicking it once and then clicking on the "Attach" button.

Product Key
==========
The MGA Diagnostic Tool can only collect a part of the Product Key, therefore, please enclose the entire 25 digit Product Key as well and I will help you to verify if it is valid. It should be printed on the CD package or a sticker on your computer. To help locate your Windows Product Key, we can also refer to the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/LocateProductKey.aspx?displayLang=en

Please also let me know the Operating System version for the Product Key, such as: “Windows Vista Home Basic”, “Windows Vista Business”, “Windows Vista Home Premium” or “Windows Vista Ultimate”. It can also be found on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) of your computer.

Your feedback is very important to us. Please send me a reply on the results for the suggestions above at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or there are any questions about the steps, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will be glad to help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
