    i purchased a compaq pc from pc world in dec and 3 days ago i had a message pop up saying it's not genuine and now have all the annoying delays etc that go along with it. pc world tech guys gave me advice but it didn't work and all they can suggest now is restoring the factory settings which means i will lose everything and it will take ages and a mountain of discs to back it all up. the diagnostic tool results are as follows

    Hello angelstuff,

     

      That 15 sec delay screen is a specal situation that only occures after Service Pack 1 has disabled a Hack, in Vista, used to circumvent the need for Activation. Since the hack has been disabled, Vista requires a Valid Vista Product Key  to be entered (and Activated) to remove the 15sec. startup delay.

     

      All computer built by large manufacturers (such as compaq), that come with Vista pre-installed come with a sticker called the Certificate of Authenticity (or COA) sticker. The COA sticker contains a Valid Produt Key, that is usable by the Vista that came pre-installed on that computer. So if your Vista came pre-installed on your Compaq laptop, then instead of buying a new copy of Vista, you can enter the Product Key found on the COA sticker on the botton of your computer, to remove the 15sec. startup delay.

     

      ~If your computer was bought new and did not come with a COA sticker, please contact Compaq for assistance

     

      ~If your computer was bought used and did not come with a COA sticker, please contact the Person or Company that sold you the computer and demand the Genuine Microsoft software, that you paid for, or a refund.  You may also want to submit a Piracy Report (at http://microsoft.com/piracy) against the Person or Company that sold you the computer.

     

    Thank you,

      When you say "Delays", do you mean when you reboot your computer and Vista loads and the pop-up comes up, that the ability to Login to Vista only become available after a count of 15 sec?

     

      Would you describe what exactly the Pop-up says?

     

    Thank you,
