Dude, just kill that nasty thing with fire and install Ubuntu. Run the Adobe crap through wine: usually all it takes is a double click. And that's it, you're windoze free, life is happier, you inmediately got more money and more sex and everybody loves you.

BTW, for exactly the same reasons, stay away from adobe garbage. Those things always look cool and always look like the only choice in the market: but when you learn to do the same things with free (as in freedom) tools, you just can't remember how was your life hanging around with bitches like adobe.

Fuck You Microsoft.

"your copy of windows is not genuine"
Let me start by calling them arrogant fucking liars.
My copy of windows cost me a lot of money. See: earnings gap. A-lot of money to me.
And statistically speaking about 80 percent of Americans are saving pennies to own this piece of shit. See attached footnote.... http://youtu.be/QPKKQnijnsM or just lookout side your door; just about anyone who does not work for the computer industry or inherited their money should do.

This syphilitic OS is telling me constantly I pirated it. I WISH I DID. Boy have I learned my lesson. Really. The only reason I don't run Ubuntu is that I need to use Photoshop and the only reason that does not work on that beautiful OS is not enough users to make that feasible for Adobe. Fine. That just says people buy microsoft crap because they corner the market. Self fulfilling problem. Bottom line. I do not have time to fix a major problem that makes my computer run like shit. That kind of free time is for the privileged fucks who run that shitoration. Its their job to fix this not just post 2 pages of crap that if I could navigate successfully I would be working in the computer industry and not be poor like everyone else in this god forsaken corporatocracy.
