"You may be a victim of software counterfeiting" My ex received this message on her WIN XP PC a few days ago. Seems her copy of XP is not the real deal. She is not very computer literate and the PC was a hand-me-down from her nephew. Needless to say this scared the @#!!@ out of her and she is convinced the PC police are on the way to her door. I have a legit copy of XP Home that I no longer use or need and can give it to her when I see her in about a weeks time. But until then my concerns/questions are Is she on some sort of counter that might prevent her from using the PC before I can get there and install the legit copy of XP that I have?
I'm not that good when it comes to computer nway when turn my pc on. where i sign in to my personal setup it gives me this me message that say. you might be a victim of software counterfeiting.. and i don't know what it means. and my pc seem to be going very slow right now.
You may be a victim of counterfeiting ! My sons 2nd hand pc running XP is getting boxes with this message (You may be a victim of counterfeiting) there is also a 5 pointed starlike icon in the system tray which gives a yellow box with the same message ,when you switch on the pc there is a 16th screen box bottom right corner same message ,when you log in a 1/4 screen box comes up same message with buttons to resolve now(?) and resolve later,which by hitting resolve later allows you to log on and the pc seems to work fine.
It does appear to be from MS,anyone else encounter this? Whats the story? As well an unrelated occurance ,on the forum index for this thread when I run my mouse over the forum topics and get the little hint box that tells you a bit more I am getting in amongst the words (are you ready for this?) swastikas??? I do have a Japenese font called Kagijuuji that has swastika like symbols and it looks like one of these.
I naively downloaded a Microsoft Program which checks whether you have a genuine copy of Windows XP. The results came back that I don't have a valid, genuine copy. The fix is to spend $149 to get a genuine copy. In the meantime I have 2 warnings that come up every time I turn on my computer: "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting."
I am using window xp. but my windows is not licenced. One day by mistake i chose the option of windows update through internet. i did not get success to do so. Rather i am facing a problem from that day. The problem is that every time when i start computer i get a message that '' Your windows is not genuine, you may be a victim of software counterfeiting.'' and every time i have to wait for some time due to a countdown timer.An icon has also been automaticaly added in my system tray. if i click on this icon this gives the same message.
I was a victim of consumer fraud where I paid someone that I got out of the yellow pages to erase my Dell 8200 Desktop (after crash of 4 years worth of data loss) and reload Windows XP Home Edition as was when purchased. Long story short, the "certified, licensed, Member of BBB and Chamber of Commerce." I have XP Pro un authenticated that Windows will not authenticate, update unless I pay them for a authenticated copy. First of All, I am not made of money. Secondly, I have a copy of XP Home Edition that came with the pc.
Apparently I purchased a counterfeit version of Windows XP Pro. Recently I allowed my system to be updated as I have have many times in the past. This time I was asked to accept a user agreement. I did not read the user agreement in details but I think it did mention something about this counterfeit check. Now I have a star that appears on my desktop and is constantly bothering me with a pop-up balloon that states "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting". I would graciously pay the amount they want for a valid license which is $ 149 but the problem is I read on their "win xp boards" that in most cases you end up having to reload their acceptable version of Windows XP. We don't have the time to start from scratch. In my opinion, Microsoft needs to do a better job policing who is a valid dealer and who is not.
my operating system is windows xp i tryed to update now its shows "you are the victim of counter feiting" how can i resolve this problam if the operating system remove and reinstal may work?
This copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation. The product key found on this computer is not valid for use in your region. Began to appear after my friend returned home; his adult grand daughter had cared for his home, during his absence. Also, wallpaper is now black. Had been 1 of XP's standard wall papers. I can change it to an XP wallpaper, but after reboot, black wallpaper. My friend is unable to find his XP Pro CD; PC built by a family friend a few years ago. There is no COA on the computer [ exterior and interior surfaces ]. From my research, I have learned that the XP PID is frequently noted as to have been black listed.
"The particular Product Key you are using, which ends in 3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3J, is a widely pirated key, and it looks like it recently had a geographically block put on it to try to curb its use, which probably explains why it was showing as Genuine up until recently."
I've been running a copy of XP for over a year that I purchased from newegg.com and it is just now telling me that my copy is not valid. I've been having some recent problems with my computer: one day I turned on my computer and tried to log in and it told me that my profile had become corrupt and that it was going to log me onto a temporary profile(ran very slow)... something along those lines. Decided to reinstall XP which fixed nothing, and then searched around online and decided to just make a new profile and copy my files over to this profile from the corrupt one. Computer ran very well for a while, until.
my computer to receive this error message: Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <windows root>/system32/ntoskrnl.exe. Please reinstall a copy of the above file. I reinstalled this file by accessing the recovery console.

Every time I switch on my machine and try to connect to the internet, I get a dialogue box: Web page is unavailable while offline. To view this page, click connect. When I click connect, I can view the page and don't get the error message again until I switch off the machine. Why does this happen?

This just started a few days ago. When my outlook Express loads it has four of each email message. Anyone have the answer on how to get it back to one message instead of four?
I somehow customized my startup to display a screen that reads, "This computer is set to explode in 12 seconds. Run away as fast as you can." The whole startup process stops until I click "accept."
I think it was some program that I was fooling around with and I thought it would be cute. But I've been sick of it for a long time now and don't know how to get rid of it.

last night i installed the software for my sony mini dv handycam to transfer my video to disc. the software is poor at best and did not offer dvd burn, just video cd. there seemed to be an issue finding the driver for the cam but after a second attempt it seemed to work.a found a program called ulead that captures video and burns to dvd. i downloaded a trail version and played with it for a bit and than decided to delete it. shortly after when i connected my digital camera via usb and ran picasa 2 windows crashes and gives me a stop message.
I have a Presario 3145A laptop computer running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and all updates. This has been working perfectlly well until tonight.I have tried a Restore Point but with the same errors coming up.Windows starts OK but after a few minutes, even when I am not using the system, this message appears.The only hardware I had plugged in was a 4gb memory stick which I have used many times. Even without it plugged in, the error appears.
