Question

Stephen,
Thanks for your response of my earlier post.
This is in continuation of my post related to “windows vista home basic -oemACT - You may be victim of software counterfeiting”
About COA
This Windows version is preinstalled in the laptop which is from Compaq. The model number of this laptop is V3225AU. I believe it falls under the category of “Large Manufacturer Pre-installed Windows COAs” under the link http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/product.aspx?pID=b5c507e5-3522-40de-a2f4-97d82b39cc47&cID=ea710cad-37b0-4975-bcd6-abfee19961df&method=oem&displaylang=en
In the product label that it affixed at the back of the laptop its written “Vista Home Basic OEMAct(Ltd Dist India)” Below that is given the product key.
To answer you questions of last thread
- It’s a Home Basic version of Windows Vista
- It is written OEMAct.
- It has the computer manufacture’s name in black letters i.e. HP.
- A screen comes up while starting it which says the version of windows vista that I'm running is not genuine!!!! And give me a choice of two. 1 . Activate now or 2. Activate Later. Then 2nd option comes to live after 15 seconds of no activity.
Also a pop up come which says “You may be victim of software counterfeiting" - Here is the data collected from MGADT

My laptop is one year old and recently a screen comes up while starting it which says the version of windows vista tha I'm running is not genuine !!!!
Also a pop up come which says " You may be victim of software counterfeiting"
this is a windows vista home basic oemAct.
When I contact HP for support those guys are telling me to re-install the system by using recovery CD !!!
Is that the only way to avoid it ?
Now that my windows defender showing " ! " sign and when i click on "Check for updates now" the results are 0.
I guess the laptop has stopped taking update from windows ?
any body knows a solution for it ?- Merged by Stephen Holm Thursday, January 15, 2009 5:32 PM Baruah please keep same topics in same thread :-)

Hello Baruah,
Please run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Test (MGADT) so that I may analyze the results.
By clicking the link below, you will download the MGADT. Then click the Run button. Then click the Run button again. Then click the Continue button to perform the diagnostic. The Windows tab should show, click the Copy button to paste your report to the clipboard. Then paste the report into a New Post on this Forum by adding a post in it and pressing Ctrl V (to paste the text). Clicking the OK button will clear the Diagnostic window. Here is the download link:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012
Please tell us about the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for your copy of Windows Vista.
1. What edition/version of Windows Vista is titled?
· Home Basic
· Home Premium
· Business
· Ultimate
2. Does it read "OEM Software" or "OEM Product" in black lettering?
3. Or, does it have the computer manufacturer's name in black lettering?
4. Please provide the customer scenario you are experiencing.
5. DO NOT post the Product Key.
Not sure what to look for, see this page to reference your COA:
NOTE: The data collected with the MGADT does NOT contain any information that can personally identify you. The information can be fully reviewed, by you, before being posted.
Thank you,

Good Morning,
I tried to download the patch KB931573 and run it. Immediate after run 2 dialog box appeared.
Box .1. Says "Optional update delivery is not working" ! You may be a victim of software counterfeiting"
Box 2. Says " Window update standlone installer - The update does not apply to you system"
The step set#1 failed to resolve the problem.
Tried step set#2
Now Windows is not letting me go inside. A dialog box appears which says
Title Bar of the box - Windows Activation
Content of the box - Windows must be reinstalled to activate. Insert the windows installer DVD or CD into your computer to begin the installation process !!!!!!!!
As your notes under step set #2 I do not have any option to access the computer with reduced functionality and type slui 4.
I tried to type slui 4 by going into "Safe mode with command prompt" but it says it requires normal windows operation to activate it.
What should I do now ?
Typing this message from a cyber cafe.
