    I try to install from a CD of lightroom 6 on my win7 64 bit pc, but gets an error saying that windows vista is not supported?

    Thanks a lot to point me in the right direction. I live in the Denmark and the Danish version of Win7 64, I was able to install from a CD LR6 after choosing not win 7 (was not available), but (if I remember) "no specific compatibility. After installation I clicked on LR6 and changed the favorite to Win7 program compatibility.

  • Installed the new drive hard and now I get a pop up that says that my windows is not genuine.

    I upgraded my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron 1750. Now, I get a pop up that says that my windows is not genuine. But under the control of configuration\systeme and Security\System, it says my windows is activated. It is an OEM with Windows7 system House. Did that clone a new (bigger, 1 TB) hard disk and then install. In addition, windows update does not work now either. Said the service is not running.

    You have installed RemoveWAT at some point in the past.

    Now we must try to clear up the mess :(

    Best way to fix it now (since we do not know what version of RemoveWAT served) is to run WATFix...

    Download WATFix - make sure you click the link in the page, not the big shiny buttons! - and use it.

    Then post back with another MGADiag report, and we will see what we can do.

  • My CD key is for Xp, but I got a free upgrade to Vista, how can I get a new CD key now its saying that my Windows is not genuine?

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop, which came with XP on it and XP key on the back sticker. However, when I bought it, it came with a free Vista Upgrade, that I used. Now several years later it says that my copy of Vista is not authentic, but I can't get the CD key to verify that the CD key is for XP, not Vista.

    Any ideas of how to fix cela, or should I just try it backward on a XP machine with old code?

    Thank you!

    I bought my laptop at Wal-Mart a few months ago and I had to send to Acer because it has stopped working. They fixed it and send it and I get an error saying that my windos is a counterfit since then.

  • I'm having the same problem: Microsoft says my Windows 7 is not genuine, but I know that it is?

    I read some of the other similar problems in this forum, but the problem is, the suggested solutions did not work for me:

    My COA sticker is no longer legible.
    My System Restore Point turned off the coast (I don't know why)
    SFC scans reported no problem
    slui.exe 4 for me is not a ' call-someone ' a ' function (I think it's because I'm in some faraway)
    I scanned my computer with Security essentials and it does detect malware or anything
    and finally, I don't want to buy an activation key!
    My laptop is not belonging to the first, but I'm sure that my OS is genuine, because I have had this for 2 years)
    ?) and I've updated the operating system when Windows asks me. The message "is not authentic" appeared a few days ago and I am not even connected to the Internet when he did.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. It is the result of MGADiag:

    If Windows Vista application activation unexpectedly on rare occasions, you may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer that did not previously require Windows Vista activation or has already been activated successfully. For example, this may occur on a computer on which Windows Vista was preinstalled by an OEM installation or Volume licensing and are major hardware changes occurred, such as upgrading the hard disk and memory at the same time.

    If you are prompted to reactivate Windows Vista, you can do this by using the Windows Activation Wizard to:

    1. Click Start

      and then click computer.

    2. Click System Properties on the toolbar, and then click click here to activate Windows now in the Windows activation area.

      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    3. Select the Windows Vista activation method that you want, and then follow the instructions.

    To avoid this problem in the future, obtain the latest service pack for your version of Windows Vista, either through automatic updates or direct download.

    To update to Windows Vista and prevent this activation problem does not happen:

    1. Click Start

      Click all programsand then click Windows Update.

    2. Click find updates.
    3. As soon as Windows Vista found the updates, click the install updates button.

  • Why programs only show versions test on my 2nd computer and why does say that my subscription is not found when I try their license?

    I recently bought the CC year subscription (pre-paid, student version if that helps). has worked on my laptop but now that I tried to install them on my desktop computer programs (PS, After Effects, animate and first so far) only appear as versions test, and when I try their license with my email ID Adobe said I have no subscriptions (while my full subscription details appear when I connect to my Adobe ID on the website).

    I thought that a possible reason for this could be that I accidentally left my laptop on when installing the CC app on the desktop (like you are supposed to only use one device at a time), but nothing has changed even when I switched the laptop turned off and repeatedly connected to my Adobe ID on the desktop.

    Would be great if someone could help me, thanks in advance!
