Yeah, you may have a bootleg. But you know, this also happens to genuine copies installed on machines other than the copy that came with the computer. My brother got a computer from a friend of his that was infected with viruses and spyware, so he decided to reload the OS, but the previous owner didn't have the original OS disk, so I let him use my copy of WinXP Pro, and now he gets the same message even though it's not a bootleg. Personally, I think it is a bunch of bs. Anyway, you can call Microsoft and they should provide you with a new key so your software can be validated. A friend of mine had to do this and he said the key was like 63 digits long or something, but it worked.

Re-run the validation technique. in case you probably did no longer purchase it new it ok could be a unlawful replica of homestead windows. which might clarify the message you get. What to do? properly no rely if that's illegitimate you will would desire to flow out and purchase a criminal replica and set up it. in case you recognize you got the computing gadget new, then touch Microsoft and clarify what is going on.

If your copy is legal try installing a fresh version of DirectX .. there is a known problem that is causing some copies of windows that were originally installed under bulk or corporate keycodes to show up as bootlegs, the fresh install of DirectX solves it.
That or your copy is simply bootlegged.

Check the origin of that message. There is a lot of spam and fake notices that pop up to try and get you to buy unnecessary programs or steal your identitiy. Make sure what you have is authentic. Go to Microsoft Update website and check your system there. They will be albe to confirm if you have fake or real programs.
