My latop is saying that my 'copy of windows isn't genuine'. RRS feed

  • Question

  • Okay, so I've had this laptop for three or so years now, and a while back, I had to get it repaired. Soon after, I turned it on and a message came up and said something about my product key being wrong and I either need to type a new one or buy another one. I just go on the type the product key later option and ignore it. So anyways, after selecting that, the background is black and there's a message in the bottom-right corner that reads:

    'Windows Vista (TM)

    Build 6002

    This copy of Windows is not genuine'.

    So, what can I do?? Here's the report as well:

    I have the exact same problem as clubcoffee. I have the update installed, however there is no option to activate by phone. That search term just takes me back to entering a different product key. I've tried multiple times and many different thinsgs, such as rebooting to an earlier time, scanning the registry..etc. I have no idea what to do. I can't activate vista, and I can't use my laptop
