Unauthorized change was made to windows

I just bought Windows Vista Home Premium OEM recently, installed and activated.

It's quite pretty awesome appearance windows version than ever, I have a
movie file that I've transferred it from my DV camcorder and since I don't
have a CD or dvd writer then I exchange my dvdrom with LG DVDRW from my
another PC.

In the first boots up windows won't log on, and saying "Unauthorized change
was made to windows" and it give me 2 option 1. check the solution online or
2. close which return it to log on screen.
I shutdown wait for 5 minutes then back on, and it were able to log on but a
pop up message says something like "Windows can't determine my license
status" I ignored it and continue with movie maker to burn my movie to a disc.

When finish I shutdown and place my dvdrom back, and it won't log on again
so I shutdown again wait another 5 minutes again then log on to windows, so
everytime I power up my computer I have to shut it down wait for 5 minutes
then power it on to be able to log on...

How to solve this? did I broke my license?

I have another machine (XP Home edition OEM) with dvdrw, and I often change
my optical drive too but I didn't get this message, my XP license still valid
until now and I've reinstalled it 2-3 times and reactivated with no problem

As long as you keep changing your DVD Drive, you will have probs!
It thinks, and is correct, that it is part of a new system.
You are UPGRADING to DVD Burner.

No, you don't need a new licence.
If you make just about ANY hardware changes, Vista thinks that it has been
reinstalled on a new computer!
All you have to do is re-activate, if it asks to be activated. But, take the
phone option, and hold on until you get a real person.
Explain what the prob is, and they will fix things for you.

Ah, the joys of having an operating system that controls your computer
instead of you controlling it. Sick of this crap? Try Ubuntu, a free
Open Source operating system that needs no activation, becoming
"genuine" or any other of the ineffective "anti piracy" crap that MS
forces users to endure that catch no pirates and only inconvenience
PAYING customers. Check it out at http://www.ubuntu.com/ Not only is
Ubuntu free, it comes with very easy access to over 25,000 free programs.

Right on Target. Mr. Ubuntu Marketing Department doing his job. Telling
the Vista users to use a TOY OS which is inferior to Windows (not
necessarily Vista) to get the job done. Ubuntu is fine for geeks and just
playing around.

People who realize the Ubuntu is FREE are not flocking to it. What does
that say about the product? Windows (even though it can be a pain in the
ass), people pay and pay to use it.

You can preach till the cows come home, but you are not going to convert
many people to a system that is marginal at best. Go donate time to a
charity and stop trolling around here.

Funny you should mention the word TOY as the only thing I use XP for
nowadays is playing games. For real work, I use Ubuntu.

Sorry, chum, but you're ill informed. Ubuntu is NOT just for Geeks and
is as user friendly than any version of Windows.

Well, you're wrong because people ARE flocking to Ubuntu more than any
Linux distro ever released and the main reasons are WPA, WGA and Vista.

Not trolling, helping. If you don't like it, tough titties.

Its the job of the OS to control your computer.
Are you saying Ubuntu doesn't, so it is useless?

Today I can't log on anymore, I've tried restart several times it still won't
let me in so I Click on "Check the solution online" which take me to windows
Genuine Page and failed on validation (The only program I can run just
internet explorer).
And I read from there that this problem could be caused by either hardware
or software that incompatible with Windows Vista.
So I come to a conclusion that my LG DVDRW (Super Multi DVD Rewriter 20x)
couldn't be the problem since it even newer than my liteon DVDROM. And The
only program I installed since my last windows update (09/28/2007) was
Getright ver 5.2b installed at 10/01/2007

After I remove getright within safemode, I can logon AGAIN !!! and passes
windows Genuine Validation !!!
My question is why the first time I install getright vista didn't notice me
that it was incompatible software until I exchange my optical drive? (it
takes 4 days to determine the software ??)
