Vista activated OK but Windows says its not Genuine?

It seems Microsoft has had some synching issues between the activation and
WGA servers.
If this applies to you, the message should change very soon, 24 hours at the
most.
 
It is a lega copy of Vista. Do you really think if it was a dodgy copy I put
post about it on a Microsoft forum?

Could it be a bug or something. Is it best to wait 24 hours like suggested?
If its still the same I'll give MS a call.
 
Please visit http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/default.aspx?displaylang=en and
click on "Validate Windows". Afterward, restart your computer.

I activated Windows today. Activation completed OK but now a message appears
in the bottom-right hand corner of my desktop.

Windows Vista (TM)
Build 600
This copy if Windows is not genuine

I have uploaded a screenie too. Anyone know why Windows is displaying the
message now.

Same thing happened to me. But I know what I did.

I installed and activated MS Office 2007 before I activated Vista...
After activation it said thank you for activating...clicked on the finish
button then
it says my copy of windows vista is not genuine (cuz I hadn't activated
since it was already set to autoactivate) then my Aero went to the basic
vista look...couldn't get into the computer details to activate or control
panel or anything besides my hard drives... had to restart and activate when
it "forced" me to or face the consequences of not being able to get into my
computer... but still it says not genuine...

I tried to activate through IE7...but everytime the browser would freeze...

Today when I read your post I thought up a new scheme... I downloaded
firefox and installed the activation plug-in...fortunately that
worked...though it did seem to freeze for a short while...
