After using Windows Vista for years in my Dell Inspiron1420 laptop  I now get message on screen

"Windows Vista  Build 6002 This copy of Windows is not genuine  "

I am then told

This copy of Windows is not activated.Click here to activate Windows now

Product ID  89578-OEM-7332157-00204   Change Product Key

when I do that I am told it is INVALID

Dell confirm they do not preload fake windows software.

What can I do?

    @JonMParker & anyone else with a similar problem: To avoid confusion, please begin your own, new thread about YOUR specific problem and computer. State your current IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 SP1; Win7 64-bit; Win7 64-bit SP1) in your first post. Thank you.

    The confusion is not of my making but yours! At the beginning I too could notunderstand why your replies were addressed to other persons until I found this thread is opne to all who have a similar problem and wish to join in hopefully to find a solution.Unfortunately we go around in circles and end up with an even bigger problem.I thought Microsoft could have found a better way to resolve problems like genuine Vista used for years becoming NOT GENUINE as if the :"used by" date has just gone by!
