Windows also tells me I do not have a valid version
I bought Windows Vista with a new Sony Vaio laptop 4 months ago. I don't recall being asked to register windows. In the last month I have not received windows updates because I'm told my windows is not valid. If I go to Control Panel and System to activate windows I get errror message 0x80070426 and am told to speak to Sony. I have tried to speak to them. My milkman is better informed. Their only suggestion is wipe the drive and reinstall from scratch. I am frustrated because my system now runs on reduced functionality. I never know what will and will not work. I feel I've been had. Can you help? Diagnostic is attached. Interestingly, I ran this diagnostic 5 minutes ago and it said "Validation Status: Invalid".
As i was typing me e-mail the system crashed (another long story) and having restarted it now says "Genuine". Your guess is as good as mine.
