| Problem with 6.0.8.0 - Windows not genuine Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone else had a problem when they updated to 6.0.8.0. I don't know if it's what caused this, but I got locked up while playing WOW. I had to totally restart the computer by pressing the power button. When I turned the computer back on, I got the "you may be a victom of software conterfeiting" error which means that you don't have a genuine copy of windows. My computer is a Dell and windows was of course included with the computer. I talked with Dell support and they lead me through a system restore to a day before this problem began which was 2 days ago. The only update that was made on my computer was the anydvd upgrade. So I did the system restore for 3 days ago and all is fine again. I was going to try updating again, but I was curious to see if any others had the same problem. Thanks for listening and any input is appreciated. |

| Re: Problem with 6.0.8.0 - Windows not genuine I think your problem with Windows was due to file corruption, after shutting down Windows via the power button. Ordinarily when this is done, Windows will do a disk error check upon reboot, to look for incomplete files and errors. System Restore has fixed the problem. Updating to 6.0.8.0 shouldn't present any problems. |

| Re: Problem with 6.0.8.0 - Windows not genuine Well, be advised that MS also issued a new version of their WGA program this past week. So it's possible an auto-update of XP downloaded and applied this new version and for some reason it now thinks your copy is fake. |
