Resolved - Windows 7 is no longer Genuine

[Marsden 1st MRB]

Name: Cody Marsden

Rank: Sergeant

Type of issue: OS no longer genuine?

Brief Description of Issue: So i finally got my computer repaired and finaly got it back with a new motherboard and all, and the second time i boot it up it informs me that my copy of windows is not genuine, I tried re-validating it online and backing it up to before this issue happened which fixed it when it happened to me one time before, cleary did not work this time. I am completely lost as to wtf is going on, there is only one instance of pirated software on my computer and it was added after the issue presented. Should I go back to the shop that repaired and built the rig and demand a new windows key or is there a fix?

This may, or may not be an option;

Manual Phone Activation

If you have trouble activating Windows 7 open the Windows Activation Wizard while in Windows 7 to use the phone and activate Windows:

1. When you reach the desktop click Start, then in the Search box type: slui.exe 4

2. Press Enter on your Keyboard

3. Select your Country.

4. Select the Phone Activation option, then call the number given and hold for a real person.

How did this work out? Is it fixed?

If not, it is also possible to simply remove the messages that harass you. Keep in mind though, your copy would still not be genuine, and so you would be unable to receive updates for your OS.
