hello.

had to activate my windows, and i did it by phone. worked perfectly fine.
computer said it was activated and i was good.

now i look in the bottom right side of my desktop, and it says
WINDOWS VISTA (TM)
BUILD 6000
THIS COPY OF WINDOWS IS NOT GENUINE


.....how do I remove this? it said it was genuine, i can update it fine, but
it is annoying the hell out of me considering i forked over the money for
this product.

thx!

Please follow this troubleshooting procedure:

2. After running the MGA Diagnostic Tool, click on the "Windows" tab and then click on "Copy".

3. Next, visit the following website and create a post in the "WGA Validation Problems" forum
