Bootleg Windows 7 Won't Hold A Desktop Background

Dec 19, 2011

So i just found this website a week ago and I thought this might be worth seeing if anyone knows anything about. I've had a Toshiba laptop for about 3 years now, and it came with Vista. About a year ago a friend of mine in IT put Windows 7 on it and i didn't really realize it was bootleg. All works fine but whenever i change my desktop background and turn my computer off, it reverts back to black. I also get a pop-up like once a day reminding me to register, but thats less annoying than Vista so its cool.

Installed Game (Hitman 3) With Bootleg Cd And Windows 7 Blocks Use?

Jan 25, 2012

I Installed A Bootleg Version Of The Video Game Hitman Contracts On My Vista Home Premium And When I Open It, It Says " ERROR, Please Close And Windows Will Notify you If There Is A Solution". I Saw An I-con Pop Up In The Icon Bar And When I Open It It Tells Me Some Sort Of Protection Has Blocked Use Of The Game Because It Says It Can Harm My Computer And When I Open Up The Settings And Put The Game Into The " Allow These Files Only" It Tells Me I Cant Do This.

Laptop With Bootleg Windows / Wanting To Restore To Legit Key

Feb 10, 2012

2 years ago, I bought an Acer laptop that came with Window 7 Home Premium 64-bit. But my boyfriend at the time decided that Home Premium wasn't good enough, so he pirated a copy of Ultimate 64-bit and installed it on my laptop despite me asking him not to. He also "lost" the restore disk.Fairly recently, the laptop failed to pass genuine advantage, and I'd like to try to go back to using the legit key that I can still read on the bottom of the laptop. If I buy an OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium, could I use the disk to install the OS on my laptop and use the product key that is printed on the bottom of the laptop? I plan on building a new desktop, and would like to use the new product key that comes with the disk for that.
