Thanks in advance for all the help you have provided.
Purchased laptop off craigslist in Dec 09 had what i thought was a genuine copy of windows 7 installed. I checked and it showed activated before purchase.
On 2/26/10 update installed the (KB971033) system restarted and wow I have counterfeit software. I have a desktop that i installed windows 7 on no problem but i have the actual disk with Activation code.
So i followed your directions and uninstalled the update without problems. After restart Windows still starts with need to activate screen Is there any solution to this?
Thanks,
Keith
