Yeh the best way to fix your problem would be as Daniel_G said, youll have to tell your friend to buy a legal copy of windows.

thats what i would do, always use a legal os.

Open up Internet explorer, go to tools/manage add ons. You will get a list of services (don't forget the drop down window to uncover more). You will see Genuine advantage tool. Just disable, apply & reopen IE.

That should do the trick!

Nope, I read on this forum that one of the members had a problem with his copy of windows, he spoke to microsoft & they told him what to do. He said that the operative chuckled whilst he was telling him how to do it!

I chuckled too!

I am not at all happy advocating using pirated software, one only ends up with probs in the long run.
