DPGDawg 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 I installed a copy of Win 7 as a Dual Boot on my Vista comp. Everything went fine and the Win 7 works fine But now when I boot into Vista it says its an Illegal copy and I need to Activate it But its not , it came with the comp It still works fine and updates and everything , its just that the message pops up every 5 secs and is really annoying and I think it messes with my mouse Is there a fix for this without uninstalling the Win 7 or is that my only solution ? Thanks for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vignesh Nallamad 209 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 dude there is no link between installing win 7 and win vista... if u have its key still u can go to properties in my computers and change product key there... if not install the below software and restart ur pc it will be fixed... http://fixexe.com/?dl_id=13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parker216 101 Report post Posted February 29, 2012 LOL! I was wondering why you would want to use Vista anyway! Unless you have a specific reason, or just to learn multi-boot. It sounds like your Master Boot Record got corrupted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
