Suddenly get a message this AM "You may be a Victim........"
WGA says Vista is a Fake
Run MS Windows Diagnostic Tool it says it is Genuine.
How do I get WGA to correct itself?

It was the normal message shown when Windows Genuine Advantage decides
that the software is NOT genuine.

However over the last two days I have been following another thread
trying to speed-up Vista and it would appear that turning off certain
services is what upset WGA. These have now been returned to Automatic
and everything is back to normal.
