MJCRO Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 So I installed a couple of new updates last night, but one of them I viewed the details later for was an Microsoft activation product key checker and it ended up thinking my copy of Windows is not genuine. I purchased this copy through the online deals they gave to students and it always never gave me a problem until now? Anyone having problems with this?

Munkypoo7 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 No issues here... might want to give Microsoft Support a call? Just be level-headed, calm yet assertive and they should fix it up for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I hate this update :angry2: it's the only one that win7 (even the beta) will never install!! It says it installs correctly then when i restart it's like "Oh hi, I'm back!" The worst part is that it doesn't stay hidden when I tell it too :angry2: I got this Win7 Professional legit through that school thing so idk what gives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajmatson Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I also have a student edition that I downloaded and so far no issues due to the updates. Did you get it from the Ultimate Steal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenitaL Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 KB971033, i read about this just this morning and its not a pretty sight, the problem is that i cant seem to find it anywhere, on windows update OR on my computer, so i have no idea if its installed. I did a search for it showing hidden file and checked 'uninstall programs' and selected veiw updats, its not there so i guess its not installed BUT how comes its not on windows update when i check for new updates?

MJCRO Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 I also have a student edition that I downloaded and so far no issues due to the updates. Did you get it from the Ultimate Steal? Yeah I got it through student deal, forgot what website, I was supposed to get the download link for Win 7 Pro x64, but it ended up not working and so I called up the site and this woman gave me the ISO for Win 7 Ultimate both x86 & x64, with unlimited licensing keys, I've used this disk many times on my same system after wipes and stuff. This is soooo frustrating! :angry2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 that Update was Optional for me... Meaning on 4 of the 5 rigs I just reloaded I did NOT need to install it...but beings these ARE legit copies I installed it anyways....It went fine and everything is good... I would say Call MS and hash it over with them...hopefully the places you guys got the copies from were in fact legit and this is just a simple mistake...
