| Mine did that. I had to validate it with Microsoft. Took a minute or two. Did they give you a link to click on Microsoft? |

Yes, there was a link, but I think it went away.

Dale;
What version and service pack of Windows are you running?
Was is validated prior to this message appearing?
Is the PC a brand name, or self-built?
Have you experienced any failed Windows Updates recently?

This is Win 7 pro with SP1. Home built. Don't recall any previous problems. Clicked control panel and system, scrolled down and there was the genuine seal with a validation number. Thinking it was either a glitch or a scam.
