Windows vista ultimate problem RRS feed

  • Question

  • hi,

     

    My windows vista ultimate edition showed me an error message right after i logged in.It sayed my installation needed to be repaired because it uses some kind of malicious thing that can somehow extend the trial period (the 30 days period you get before activation is requirerd).My windows installation passed validation ok (genuine) at http://www.microsoft.Com/genuine .I have just done what i needed todo (purchase a legit productkey) received the email with the product key.The only question i have left is how do  i get rid of this malicious thing on it ? i just checked

     

    "i understand this message might  appaer only once" and closed the window (while having the genuine advantage order site in another window) so what do i do now ? i guess the best thing is wait untill the dvd is here and do a clean reinstall

  • Hi,

     

    I will answer my own question. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=112312&clcid=0x413 this update will detect those things and i follow steps to remove the thing then i guess vista will ask a new key i enter the new purchased one that should do it or not ?
