Win7 (build 7100) showing as not genuine
Huh!This is a strange warning. I bet!When I log in to my Windows 7 (build 7100), I'm getting a warning that I'm using an illegal version of Win7.http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/2858/win7genuine.jpgBut, when I take Computer -> Properties, I can see the genuine logo from Microsoft.As far as I know, win7 (build 7100) has free-license to use till mid-2010.Is this a serious issue? I'm getting this warning in a random manner.Any suggestions?Thanks. Sometimes, Difficult things are possible...

Hi, Have you added any new hardware (ie. Motherboard, CPU, ) Also W7 checks at certain times to see if any thing is different from the time you last activated. If it is not able to get to the internet you might get this warning. Slan go foil, Paul
