Unauthorized change was made to windows

Calv,

Just a guess.

Installing Getright (from Googling it) has undesireable effects of some
programs when they try to use the network (time out failures for instance).

Installing the new hardware causes Vista to attempt to check that the
validation is still correct (many hardware changes do this). Vista then
tries to go out to network into the validation computer and cannot get there
(Getright prevents it). Failing to get to the validation server Vista gives
you the warning that it cannot validate your machine (not that the machine
has an invalid copy, but that it could not check it).

I got the message again this morning, Well.. I really not impressed with this
"WOW vista experience".
Vista just give me more trouble than its benefits.. Now I don't have a clue
what may caused the message shows up again.

Anyone else experienced this before?
