For the third time in four months my computer (Gateway ML6703) is showing the error message " This copy of Microsoft windows is not genuine". The other times i have taken it in to be repaired. The repair person has to reformat, reinstall Vista Home premium and Office 2007. Everything seems fine for a few weeks and back comes the error message.
