| 794003 | 2009-07-22 02:06:00 | Hi, i have just turned on a laptop that has Vista Business which wont login as it states, this version of windows is not genuine . Since it doesnt have anything on it i located a Vista Biz disk 32 bit and reinstalled . Key works fine from underneath, continued install sweet and it rebooted once it was finished . But on windows restarting once again says "this version of windows is not genuine" Asus F3Kseries Now this windows has been installed for about 3 months or more and was last used about 2-3weeks ago fine . What the hell is going on? Windows update may be? The key may be OEM and the install disk would be full version but it was going fine for ages . I have located the restore disks and are in the process of restoring it to factory install . Just the ol Black Magic of PCs again I suspected malware and decided to format since there wasnt anything to backup . |

| 794007 | 2009-07-22 02:47:00 | Yeah, i should have tried a restore back about 1 month to see Looks like the asus dvd reload has worked anyway. Thanks all EDIT: i have just finished the reinstall and checked it out and it didnt load any bloat? no nortons or anything. Thats saved me a ouple of reboots. Cool |
