How do you uninstall Genuine Microsoft Software? Every time I turn on my computer, a message comes up and says you're Genuine Microsoft Software has expired. And I am given 2 options, Resolve now , or to resolve later. Everyday when I access my computer, I have to press resolve. Then after a while in the middle when I play a game, a little message on the screen pops up and says my Genuine Microsoft Software has expired once more. Even when I turn off my computer, the message says "You're Genuine Microsoft Software has expired". This program is getting on my nerves. I cannot find a way to uninstall it either. It always say I have to purchase it.
Is there a way to uninstall Genuine Microsoft Software?
I also checked the Add/Remove, but there was no Genuine Microsoft Software on the list. I double checked.

You have to activate that software. Go to start> all program > activate windows.

You don't want to uninstall that otherwise you uninstall the whole progra,. What Genuine Microsoft Software is, it's to make sure that your software is all legal and not pirated. I would suggest going here for help, otherwise I'd go to the windowsupdate web site and download any important updates.

hmm I think there's no such Microsoft genuine software expiration even if you have it it'll never pop up you with a message saying it expired, maybe it's a trial you downloaded and installed someday, anyway scan your computer maybe it's a virus or spyware.

58 OC4 // Sep 4, 2009
some copies of microsoft windows are only valid in certain areas and the new update detects if you are then using an “invalid copy”, you may have (like me) bought a brand new copy off the net from a perfectly legitimate seller and youre now being shafted by microsoft for the “privaledge” of using their software.

Manually uninstall WGA Notifications
1. Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrative permissions.
2. Make sure that the WGA Notifications version that exists on the computer is a pilot version. The version format for the pilot version is 1.5.0532.x. In this case, you can uninstall versions 527-532 only. For example, you can uninstall versions that range from 1.5.0527.0 to 1.5.0532.2. To find the WGA Notifications version, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
b.Double-click Add or Remove Programs, click Windows XP - Software, click Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications, and then click Click here for support information.
NOTE:
If Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications does not appear, the release version is installed. You cannot uninstall the release version of WGA Notifications.
c.In the Support Info dialog box, verify the version number, and then click Close.
3. Rename the following files by changing the extension to .old:
* Rename %Windir%\system32\WgaLogon.dll to %Windir%\system32\WgaLogon.old
* Rename %Windir%\system32\WgaTray.exe to %Windir%\system32\WgaTray.old
(to rename….go to c: ……click windows,then find the folder system32…then find the WgaLogon.dll and change its extension to .old and also to WgaTray….change its extension to .old)
4. Restart the computer.
5. Unregister LegitCheckControl.dll by using Regsvr32. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
Regsvr32 %Windir%\system32\LegitCheckControl.dll /u
(check the space between Regsvr32 to % and the space between .dll to /u)
(it can have an error if you can’t type this in right form)
6. Restart the computer.
7. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
8. At the command prompt, delete the following files by typing the Del command. Press ENTER after you type each command.
* Del %Windir%\system32\wgalogon.old
* Del %Windir%\system32\WgaTray.old
* Del %Windir%\system32\LegitCheckControl.dll
(check again the spaces…..between Del to %)
9. At the command prompt, type regedit.
10. Locate and then right-click the following registry subkeys. Click Delete after you locate each subkey.(delete only the last subkeys….which is the WgaLogon and WgaNotify)
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\ CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WgaLogon
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Uninstall\WgaNotify
i try this and it works…..remember…always check what you have type……..

79 OMG // Oct 8, 2009
You people are being scammed so badly!!! Who ever sold you the pc are either software pirates or got the pc from software pirates. Do not believe who ever sold u the pc when they say that this is a microsoft update. Report them to the police IMMEDIATELY To fix your problem contact microsoft. Yes they will charge u money but if u don’t fix it quickly ur pc can go into reduced functionality mode which is like pc lockdown. No u may not remove the little blue sticker. What ever software that removes it for you is highly ILLEGAL. Also the method posted on this forum is also illegal. I’m sorry but the only thing that can help you is contacting microsoft. Yes they might ask u to buy another copy of windows (I hate that response too) but it’ll be worth it in the long run. If you’re brave, sue the people who sold you the pc.
Hope this helps!!! XD
One more thing: never ever but software off ebay normally are all pirated. There’s also something called Microsoft Office blue edition with microsoft office on a blue disc. This is a scam For the ppl who flame me note that i will most likely never go on this page again so no point
