OK so my new comp says that our Windows Vista is not genuine. I got it about 2 months ago from Best Buy and it has worked great untill now, but starting about a week ago it has started to not let me get into any applications. It just has a box on a black screen that tells me 'your activation period has expired...' so I entered the product key on the side of the computer like it says then it told me that prouduct key is not genuine windows material. It gives me another option to buy a new product key for $150, but I rather not becouse I just bought this expinsive computer. The same expensive computer that is not working. PLEASE HELP ME!!

sounds like you have a pirate copy. it slowly disables itself until you register - you did register?
i would bring it back to best buy and ask them why it expired. sounds like someone took the copy your supposed to have.

go back to best buy and tell them they sold you a computer that was a return/refurbish and taht the previous person had already taken the windows key.
