    Hi there. I have seen several posts regarding this problem but most of them required individual help. When my Windows Vista decided it was not genuine a LOT of things went awry. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 and many of my access connections and other programs stopped working. Every time I turn on my computer it asks me to activate it, then when I say activate later (as I don't have a code, it came loaded on my computer) all of these programs have error messages on startup and have to close. My desktop is also black with the "not genuine" message in the corner. Now it will not allow me to have access to the internet either. I have full signal from my wireless router, and that router gives internet to several other computers successfully, but nothing I have done will connect this computer to the internet now. I would really love to have my computer back as it has been months! Is there anything I can do to get Windows back up and working?

     

    Thanks.

    It sounds like you have multiple infections on your system - when was the last time you updated (or even renewed) your Anti-Virus program?
    What Anti- Virus program is it?
    Are you running ANY valid security software?
    Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (free version - www.malwarebytes.org) and update it - run a Quick scan in all user profiles on the machine.
     
    then post back with an MGADiag report....
    To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
