Look for additional User's reporting the same
as you and if you don't see any,
its best to contact Microsoft .

Coincidental that this question should arise today.  I posted about the conterfeit problem at FL earlier and got distracted so hadn't posted here yet.  Its now at http://www.landzdown.com/index.php?topic=7140.new#new .  Here's a link on "How to tell":  http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/default.mspx



Is this the first time you have run the Windows Genuine Advantage tool?

JonPaulOnLine,
As the PC is only something like 3 months old  :blink: Paddy ( only live a few 100 yards away) & I have advised him to go to the shop that it was brought from as a first stop.
