559169 2007-06-14 21:27:00 After a couple of years with this desktop MS tells me I've got an illegal copy of XP, and it's telling me so often it's becoming a nuisance. Since it started this a few months back, the machines getting slower and slower, and occasionally just locks up, cursor won't move etc. and I have to reboot when it may run for a few minutes or for hours.
I don't want to spend money on getting a legal copy (the guy who built it admits he recopied his own XP disc) as I'll get a new machine with Vista as soon as the funds run to it. Could the MS interference have anything to do with my problems, and can I get rid of this without going into the scary bits of the works?
I'm reluctantly attaching a Highjack scan, which means absolutely nothing to me. Would some kind person help me, please

559171 2007-06-14 23:19:00 You are in a pickle.........

As Speedy has correctly pointed out, be very unlikely that any one here will assiast you in making a copy of XP "legal".

But you may have some recourse via MS NZ. At one time Microsoft for a small fee, I heard $50, would exchange or something a illegial copy of Windows for the genuine version. I don't know the details as it is now just a foggy memory like brerakfast was this morning.......thats another story.

And whether that offer would still be valid with Vista now being pushed as the greatest thing since sliced bread.....

If your system was built by someone who does this sort of thing as a job or part time job, am sure MS would be keen to know about the supplier. And if you bought the system in good faith there may be some recourse.

Am sure that MS would be keen to know the details of anyone making and selling copies of there software for that matter.

Of course if you knowlingly entered into a arrangement that you would be "purchasing" a illegial copy of Windows, then MS is not likely to give you much support for good reason.

559172 2007-06-14 23:41:00 If the supplier is still in business, go back there. Surely they would rather replace your OS, rather than you report it to MS in Auckland??? PJ Poppa John (284)
559173 2007-06-15 01:25:00 M$ will allow you to make your illegal copy of XP legit online by paying them $NZ281.00
I know cause I did this for a guy just the other day.
Just click on the nag message and follow the prompts.. (they also post you a genuine CD )

OR - ever thought of using Linux?

559174 2007-06-15 01:46:00 If its going to cost $281 then you might as well get Vista and then install it on this machine and use it for the new computer as well. beeswax34 (63)

No.


Just clutter and possible malware would affect it like that.
MS will just nag you, not cause it to slow down.

The poor guy isn't asking anybody to help him do anything illegal. He wants us to help him get rid of malware and get his computer running faster.

No he's not George, he admits his OS is pirated and has known that for some time, but first and foremost he is asking for help to stop Microsoft nagging him. That he thinks it is in-part the MS nagging that is slowing his computer down is irrelevant. Read his post very carefully. I did that before I replied.

It is outside the rules of PF1 to help somebody get pirated software operating. It is not a "no fault of his own" situation, he has other remedies available that don't include restoring a pirated OS.

I note that no other members have fallen for his story.
