Windows not genuine message: what should I do now?

First of all, I have a lot of files I don't want to lose, and am not a computer expert. As in many other such problems shown here, I get the black screen and "Non-genuine Windows" - this after a year of use, using what seems to me to be the copy of windows 7 Pro sealed. I called Microsoft last night and the person (foreign) told me that the key I had was only good for a year!  Is it still possible?

Then, I want to solve this problem as simple as possible and will pay for the new key if necessary.  I don't want to do s to start a day long process that causes my existing data getting lost.  Y at - it an easy solution for a non-geek?

  • Windows not genuine message on my desktop

    Original title: Windows not genuine

    I got this computer since November 2009.  It came with Windows 7 Home Office preinstalled.  I paid $89.00 for a Windows upgrade Express upgrade to Windows 7 Premium.  All of a sudden, 03/13/11, it popped up on the lower right of my screen:
    Windows 7 Build 7601 - this copy of Windows is not genuine.  I even checked for the new product key given me with the upgrade of $89.  Nothing works.  Why is happening out of the blue?  Another screen pops up saying you can be a victim of software counterfeiting.  To use all the features of MS Windows, IE. all the updates of Windows updates, download the latest updates, receive product support.  Your copy of Microsoft Windows must be validated as authentic.  I hope there, can someone help me with this.  Thank you very much

    Hmmm, should be ok.  It looks like microsoft.

    Are you located in one of the countries listed?

    I hope that you have not shared this key with anyone. The key can only be used on a single computer.

    I'm puzzled. go to the class forum that looks like the only way this will get sorted. Darin is the only one I know who has the tools to analyze your key. He works at microsoft. Also, I could be wrong on the error code.
    A thought more: makes the button in the report match the anytime upgrade button, you received in your email?

  • Problem loading Google not caused by cookies or malware. Reinstalling Firefox did not help. What should I do now?

    I followed the instructions, treated with cookies, Norton and do not think I have malware and I still get the message there is a problem loading page when I try to access Google or Google mail. I find that Firefox is superior to IE. What can I do?

    Make sure that Norton is not blocking content.

    See:

    Reload Web pages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold SHIFT and click reload.
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (MAC)

    Clear the cache and cookies from sites that cause problems.

    "Clear the Cache":

    • Tools > Options > advanced > network > content caching Web: 'clear now '.

    'Delete Cookies' sites causing problems:

    • Tools > Options > privacy > Cookies: "show the Cookies".

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

    I have re installed windows7 and product activation key is not accepted. Message says key is valid only for the upgrade. What should I do now?

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
