This happened about the same time last year. I thought it was a corrupted harddrive/old computer, so I build a new one and purchased a Vista Ultimate Systems Student Media from University of Houston. Fast fwd one year, I ran Windows update, restarted, login only to see activation period expired, please activate online. after trying a couple times and getting an error 0xCsomething, I get a not genuine copy of windows error. here's my data from the mga diag tool.
