      Preview Message
    "This copy of Vista is not genuine" is displayed at bottom of side bar on desktop

     

    I originally installed Vista Ultimate last summer, but had to revert back to XP as some many drivers were not available. In early January 2008 I decided top bite the bullet and install the copy of Vista Ultimate on high end spec self build PC. Of course the orginal key would not work, but after contacting MS a new one was generated and the OS was activated.

     

    During the last few days I have been "playing" with the RAID setup, but always ending back at the point of origin - Mirror RAID.

     

    Today, despite the system being set to automatically download updates I found that nine updates would not automatically install. I eventually downloaded the files to my harddrive via the MS Download Center and tried to install them from their. I tried in both reduced startup, and safe mode, but all attemps failed.

     

    I reset MSConfig to normal startup and rebooted the system. Once the reboot was complete, I note a new message in the bottom right-hand corner  "Windows Vista (TM) Build 6000 This copy of Vista is not genuine".

     

    The my copy of Vista is obviously genuine so whats gone wrong?

     

    Following a similar thread associated with XP, I re-ran the MS WGA file and received the following confirmationary report. Can any one suggest a course of action?

    Hi Itchy Fingers,

     

      I am unsure what may have caused your Non-Genuine state, but it appears to have been momentary as your Diagnostic Report shows Vista a Genuine and I see no error codes.

     

      I spoke with my Dev team and think that while you where "playing" with your Raid, a program may have, in error, attemped to access a very specific protected memory block used by Vista's Licensing system. This is rare, but when it happens Vista momentarily gets flagged as Non-Genuine, the message in the right hand corner appears and then Vista returns to a Genuine state. Unfortunatly, even though Vista is Genuine, the message in the right hand corner can take up to two reboots to be removed.

     

      As for you difficulties installing updates, I suggest going to the Windows Update Solution Center at http://support.microsoft.com/ph/6527/en-us/ and if that doesn't help, there is a link in the top right hand corner of that page that will allow you to create a (no cost) Windows Update support request.

     

    Thank you,
