Tl;dr: Windows 7 says my copy is not genuine (bought the pc with the OS second hand so I cannot know if it is a legitimate problem or not).

I cannot access normal Windows, only safe mode. Anti-spyware and anti-virus find nothing that may be causing this and it all started after 10 months of normal usage. What can I do?

A pop up in the system tray appeared today, informing me that my copy of Windows may not be genuine, and then a pop-up (in the style of system errors) that said that I may have been victim to software counterfeit. When I minimized my browser, I saw that my wallpaper had been replaced by a black one with the words "Windows 7 build 7601 may not be genuine" in the bottom right corner.

I restarted my computer after that and after logging in my account there was only the black screen with the message in the bottom right corner and a cursor that could be moved. No icons, no taskbar, no task manager or right click menus. Nothing. So I entered into safe mode and tried to find a solution, to no avail.

I uninstalled my Advanced System Optimizer (cracked) cause I read that it may be causing trouble and scanned with Malware Antibytes, Avast, ccleaner and Spybot S&D. Spybot, ccleaner and Malware found some minor things but nothing that affected my problem (there was malware in System Optimizer, at least according to Spybot). Scf /scannow cannot find something wrong with the system files and I cannot run slmgr commands in safe mode.

Any one has any idea? Thanks in advance and sorry for the wall of text.

  • There you go. I did try the clean boot and it booted with the black screen again but a window (only one window) that said counterfeit etc and redirected me to slui.exe 4. After one more restart i was able to access normal windows mode, with the black wallpaper, and using belarc advisor to find my windows key and try to reactivate i get the error that my key is already in use. If i am not mistaken i am still in clean boot, its just that the second time it worked (it asked me to reconfigure some things by pressing f1, what was wrong was misplaced in the screen, could not read it..)

  • It looks like your computer was sold with a fake (cracked) copy of Windows. In cases like these, there's not much you can do except purchase a valid license for Windows. Of course, since you were sold a counterfeit product, you can go as far as taking legal action against the system vendor, but that's up to you (I am not a lawyer).

The reason why you get the message is, that you use an Acer OEM key (Partial Product Key: HYRR2) on a system without OEM/SLIC 2.1 marker in the BIOS.

You use an Asus P5K SE, so the seller of the PC installed a cracked Windows 7 Ultimate and MS detected the crack now and flagged the Windows as "non genuine".

So, buy a genuine license from Microsoft if you want to use Windows.
