• When I came out of hibernation, a window appears saying that Windows is not genuine

  Windows not genuine message?

  I have a ZT Systems Core i7 PC with Win7 Home Premium 64-bit. It's about a year, but recently, when I came out of hibernation, a window appears saying that Windows is not genuine.  When I close and re - enter my ID in the Properties window, it checks and says that the activation is successful.  Why this message keep appearing from time to time and how do I get rid of him?  Thank you!

  A product id is not a product key. your product key is on your COA attached to your computer. (if your laptop, it may be in the battery compartment).

• I get an error message that Windows is not genuine on the computer.

  I bought my Dell computer about 18 months ago with Windows 7 pre-installed. For 16 months, I used it without a problem. Lately, however, I get messages burst by saying that I am not genuine Windows.

  When I click on the link of the resolution, its 'resolution' is for me to buy Windows! Why this would happen to me? I feel persecuted, and I did nothing wrong!

  I do a lot more with my system than surf, email, use Office products and have a couple of card games I bought. How can I get to stop bugging me without buy Windows all over again? As far as I know, I never got a CD with a copy of Windows as you can get in the old days.

  Thanks for any help!

  The good news is that your system is now about as authentic :)

  I see you also validated successfully as well.

• When I go to rip a cd I get message saying that windows is not able to accomplish this task.

  When I go to rip a message from windows cd is that it is not able to accomplish this task. also when I go to change where I whant recorded music it is empty and I'm not able to open to choose where to save it. Windows Media will play music, but that's all

  Hello from the McCanns,

  Thank you for the question!

  I'm sorry to know that have problems you with the ripping. As I understand it impossible to rip a disc and get a message that unable to accomplish this task.

  I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

  Method 1:- You may be able to complete the rip by turning on error correction.

  In Windows Media Player -> click Tools-> Options -> peripheral, click the CD burner, choose > Advanced and set the error correction on it.

  Method 2:- There are two ways to change the rip while settings in the Player library. You can insert a CD into your CD-ROM drive and clickRip settings, or you can click on the Rip music tab in theOptions dialog box. The music tab Rip in the Options dialog box offers additional options that are not available in the Rip settings menu.

  To extract music from a CD, follow these steps:

  a: For best results, make sure that you are connected to the Internet before you begin.

  When your computer is connected to the Internet, the Player attempts to retrieve information from press about the tracks being ripped from an online database. The player then adds the information to the files during extraction.

  Note that you can rip a CD when your computer is not connected to the Internet. However, the player will not be able to identify the name of the CD, the artist who created it, or the names of the songs until you go online.

  b: insert an audio CD into the CD drive.

  c: (Optional) If you want to select another format (for example, MP3 instead of WMA) or bit rate (for example, 192 Kbps instead of 128 Kbps) for files created during extraction, in the Player library, click the Rip settings menu and then click on Format or the quality of the Audio.

  d: (Optional) If you do not want to extract from each song, in the Player library, clear the check boxes next to the songs you don't want to extract.

  e: Click the current playback orRip CD CD Rip button in the library of the player to begin extraction.

  For more information, visit the following link: -.

  Meet us if you encounter problems during extraction or any other problem of Windows, and I'd be happy to help you again and try to correct the problem as soon as possible.

  Good day!

• computer turned on today and he said that my copy of windows is not genuine-why?

  When I went today only my computer says that "your copy of windows vista is not genuine" then why say build 6002. Do not understand that I bought the computer with vista installed. It was beautiful last night and I for about 4 years.

  

  Currently, your copy of windows vista is not activated. If you have the product key with you, you can activate your copy of windows.

  You can find your product key on your computer or inside the Windows package installer disk-based.

  Type SLUI in the search box and press ENTER key

  Follow the directions on screen to activate windows

  You can activate online or by phone. You need an Internet connection to activate online. Activation by phone requires interacting with an automated phone system.
