  Your windows is not genuine.

  Your install is using a Dell OEM SLP key on a Gateway computer with a Hewlett Packard slic table. Your install was done using a Hackers loader tool

  You will have to purchase and install a genuine windows or revert to the windows your computer came with.

  Hi everyone,

  I've bought a computer a while ago and it was working fine until a few weeks ago. I think it was one of the updates, not sure what happened, but now it's telling me that Windows isn't genuine. I do have a sticker with the key on the back of the PC, but I do not have the install CD, unfortunately.

  Is there any way to fix this at all? I've tried to validate it online but the page tells me that system files have been tampered with! I don't think this is very likely and I did run a virus check to make sure. Anyway, the results from the diagnostic report are below. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  In addition to George's comments, your system is way too old to have been supplied with Windows 7 as the OS - you must restore the original OS that came with the system (probably Vista) and then if you require Win7, upgrade using legitimate upgrade media.

   

  Your current installation of Office is also non-genuine.

  Thank you for replying. Yeah, I was a little surprised to see Windows 7 on this computer since it is indeed fairly old, but it was running just fine on it. However, is there a reason you are suggesting that I restore the original OS? As I said, unfortunately I don't have any of the CDs, so that's not an option, I think. :(

  Also, what makes you say that the Office installation is non-genuine?  I've bought this CD at a major retailer a few years back and I've never experienced a single problem with this. I still have the CD and it looks like a piece of genuine Microsoft Software? :S

  Thanks for your reply and for letting me know that I was scammed. I don't think I can revert to the original without the CD, can I? I suppose I'll need to purchase Win 7 instead! Also, does this mean that I have a virus?

  Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 - 100 Genuine
  Office Enterprise is a version of Office that is ONLY sold in bulk to organisations for use on their own machines - you CANNOT buy it legally in a retailer.

  What version of Office are your disks for?

   

  You may be able to order the Recovery disks for your system from the manufacturer (Gateway/Acer) - or if the COA sticker is still intact you could also do a clean install from any Retail Vista disk

   

  The reason that we recommend a Clean install is that your system has been enabled by an Activation Exploit. This means that it's almost impossible to be absolutely certain that the system isn't harbouring some form of malware as well - so the safest thing is to start afresh.

   

  If you purchase a Full Retail copy of Win 7, you could use the Key from that to make the current install genuine - but it would not ensure security.

  Thanks for clearing that up. What if I did a clean install of Windows 7 instead, would that not be possible? To be honest, I tried doing a clean install using an old Windows XP CD but it crashed/bluescreened because I didn't have all of the drivers I suppose? This is all very frustrating, because up until recently, the computer was running just fine and my anti-virus scanner did not find any malware. Hmm. :S

  Also, as for Office - the versions are for Office Enterprise 2007 and it says 'Applications Student Media' (yes, it's a Student Pack). It really does look legit, though; it's even got the holograph. I can't imagine it being fake. :/

  Thank you very much for the support, I appreciate it.

  for Student versions, the college counts as an 'employer' :) it should be OK. I must admit I didn't realise that the Enterprise version was available on Student license, I thought it was Ultimate instead (but thinking about it, it does make more sense that it would be Enterprise).

   

  Yes, you could clean install Win7 on it without any problem (run the Upgrade Advisor first in case of driver problems)

   

  What AV was on there when you got it out of 'cold-storage'??  What did you update it with?

  Oh, thank you for letting me know about that. I was getting a bit worried for a moment there. Also, thanks for the hint re: Upgrade Advisor!

  Erm, the AV is called Avira, have you ever heard of it? Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been trying to get ahold of the person I bought the computer from. By the looks of it, I think my best bet might be Vista, or trying to work out how to get XP to work. Would the Upgrade Advisor work in that case, too? I mean, technically, that'd be a downgrade. But at least it would be legit!

  Anyway, thanks again! You're very helpful, and it's good to know what's 'wrong' with the OS, even if it's a bit frustrating that I didn't notice earlier on!

  No problem about delay - I have plenty of other things to keep me busy :)

  Avira is a pretty good AV - and causes no known problems in these forums.

   

  Assuming that you have a COA sticker on the case that is legible, you can download a Vista installation set from DigitalRiver, but the only ones that I know of are for SP1. You may have better luck than I did for SP2, or use a torrent download using the MD5 or SHA1 Hash as a search parameter and security check.

   

  You could also order a set of Recovery disks from Gateway, if they still have them.
