Dmac Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) I bought my PC a few Months ago from a place called Officeworks. They are a trusted Company who would never sell a Computer with Illegal copy of Windows. A couple of days ago, I started getting a Error saying my Windows is not genuine. Now, Im not really worried about not getting updates but the main thing i want to stop is the stupid ballon coming up in the corner. Is there anyway to stop it? And is there a way to get a new copy of Windows without without re-installing it? Ballon: Edited December 1, 2006 by Dmac_91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Game Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thats what it always says on my sisters pc... it says something like get a validated copy... so Im guessing the only way round is to get a legal copy if windows xp disk and installing it on your computer.

Dmac Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 A guy at a Computer shop was gonna fix it for me when i bought my RAM but he went home sick so he never got around to fixing Windows, Ill give Customer Support a ring and see what they can do.
