It is occur when microsoft consider your operating system as non genuine operating system. The solution of this thing i ever try was using removewga.exe downloaded from www.sopedia.com.

mysf, you are right... it's probably a typo... it should be softpedia... otherwise, it's aval in many other sites... search 'remove wga' from any search engine... however, it's always better to set 'windows auto update' disabled before you have the problem, if you are not using a genuine Windows... otherwise, even using 'removewga.exe' won't also give permanent solution...

Yes you are right. I mean www.softpedia.com. You can search with "wga removal" keyword.
