• Im a victim of counterfeit software Windows 7, need to reinstall XP

  Im a victim of counterfeit software, having bought what I thought was a genuine copy of Windows 7 at a reasonable price and installed on a new laptop which had Vista as OS, recently if, after doing an update, I am now receiving messages saying: my version of windows is not legitimate, if I want to reinstall my very legit copy of XP Unfortunately, when I'm trying to do, I am told that I have a newer OS on my system if it cannot perform the reinstallation of XP, what should I uninstall in order to perform this operation? That is to say, to be able to reinstall Windows XP. Any help would be most appreciated, thank you.

  Restart, and then you must boot from the XP CD (put the cd in, change the startup disk in the BIOS for the cd), press a button then follow whats on screen.

  At each time it restarts, it will say press a key, leave it leaves finish. Otherwise he's going in circles, and you'll be here all night XP installation

• Counterfeiting of Windows operating system

  I got a built-in computer, with what I believe to be a fake Windows operating system, can I download the one I have on this subject? How can I fix it?

  If you believe that you are using a pirated copy of Windows it is strongly recommended that you reinstall an authentic copy. Technically, yes you can install your old operating system. However, according to Microsoft, you may not use the copy you have on more than one computer. You can buy a new copy of Windows XP.

  Instructions on reinstalling XP can be found here.

• Virus MS "Victim of counterfeiting" message

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite laptop about 18 months ago nine, a store of grand in Munich, I live in England.
  It has a hologram MS Certificate of Authenticity on the back. It happens suddenly with messages saying: I'm a 'victim of counterfeiting"and Windows XP is not genuine.
  I can't use the recovery CD ROM, because who will cancel patches I've been downloading from the Toshiba site to get the equipment working properly (DVD management, pilot of the screen and the power were the questions).

  How to stop this annoying Virus MS?

  Hi Alex,

  Normally, the operating system comes with a new laptop computer has an OEM license, which means you do not need to register the product with Microsoft. However, it is possible that the provided operating system is always false, so I recommend you to check that your system on the site of Microsoft validation on http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.mspx?displaylang=en

  Interestingly, the OEM license allows the reseller to provide Windows XP in the national language of the country in which the laptop is sold, so that your system must be installed in German. If you have an English language installation, then it is quite possible that it is indeed counterfeit, and the Microsoft Genuine Advantage software will identify this situation.

  Good luck

• Validation of a counterfeit Windows version

  I got my PC formatted, and apparently the version of windows XP that they have downloaded on the PC was not a genuine version, so this irritating star keeps jumping on my face at the worst moments in the middle of my work to tell me that I am victim of counterfeit copies of windows XP. How can I validate the version of windows I have (online activation) without damaging my downloaded data? How can I buy an authentic online version and make just valid without having to start all over again...

• I bought an IBM Thinkpad at an auction and it says I have a counterfeit copy of Windows XP is installed.

  I bought this laptop IBM thinkpad at an auction. He says that I have a counterfeit Windows xp copy, it's on this computer, when I bought it. I can't afford to buy a new copy of windows xp, I've heard that if I told where it came from or who made it, I could get a complementary copy of windows all I can tell you is I got it in an auction house. I need your help. just want my computer work as it is.

  original title: counterfeit Windows XP

  Hope that you do too for the ThinkPad. That's why they say 'caveat emptor '.

  Your PC has a COA sticker on it? If so, this will help a little. At least, it will offer proof you have a license to run Windows XP (it contains the unique product key as well).

  I bought a laptop tailor-made and it turns out that there is a counterfeit Windows xp version. I want to upgrade to windows 7 instead of buy the version xp again. is this possible?

  You will need to purchase a full commercial copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. You cannot use a Windows XP hacked as an operating system that you are eligible for an upgrade. Make sure that there are Windows 7 drivers for the hardware of the laptop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• "You can be a victim of software counterfeiting" (in reference to Microsoft Windows).

  I get this message: "You can be a victim of software counterfeiting" (referring to Microsoft Windows). I've had this computer for years and my system has been valadated before with no problems. Why am I this message after all these years. Also, I've moved several times, so I don't know where my package with the disks or tape. What should I do to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

  What you get from the site if you do the Validation test?

  Validation failed? These scenarios may help to explain why.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FailureScenarios.aspx?displaylang=en

  You can run the Windows Product Activation Wizard by clicking Start, then run and type in "oobe/msoobe / a" (less the quotes). It will tell you if it is enabled or not.

• My lenovo came with a counterfeit Windows version

  Seriously, what is the devil?  Lenovo has really give me a counterfeit Windows version?  Just today, I got a notification saying that I have a version of windows that is not genuine, so microsoft ran a few tests and of course: is not true.  I leave for college in a week and a half and I've got MicrosoftOffice... all my itunes songs imported (who took about a download day, all my games installed and running and everything I need to be ready for College, and now his bomb falls on me?

  Why Lenovo give me a computer a copy counterfeit Windows 7 64 bit? (Is there a way to fix this without buying a new version A) and (B) by deleting all of my files that I need?

  Maybe your Windows is not activated. Call Microsoft and activate using the telephone system.

  Best regards.
