Windows AeroSpace Isn't working...

Question
-
I just got a laptop from Gateway that came with Windows Home Premium. It worked fine for a while until today a window popped up saying This copy of Windows isn't genuine and it said Aerospace wasn't working.
I was sort of ticked off because It worked well for the past few days and when I found out about this and clicked on Aerospace, It didn't work at all.
Now Im trying to find out how to verify that my Windows is genuine because when I wented to the Validation Link It said that my Windows didn't pass the genuine validation.
Can anyone please help me out?

Hello,
As Phil said, please run the diagnostic tool found here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 and post the results. (There will be a "Copy" button in the bottom right corner after you click continue that will let you paste all the information we need into a post here.)
Can you also tell me what error code you see on the validation failure page when you go here http://www.microsoft.com/genuine and click on Validate Windows? It will be gray and in brackets at the end of the message on the validation failure webpage.Thank you!
