I had a guy call me about a driver issue the other day. After going over his machine it happened after an update. He has no install disks for Vista. Had 'some' guy make the system for him including a dual output soundcard to run a dj system with beat matching. The drivers quit working and the system says it's not a 'valid' O/S. We bought and installed a valid XP system because I knew I could get drivers for the soundcard but was really unsure about windows 7.

Microsoft has found various ways to test systems and disable something, for this is the 2nd time in about 6 months I've seen this.

My son even bought a souped up gaming computer from 'just some guy' he knew. Ran for a year and crashed. Buddy was unavailable for comment and my son ended up buying a new computer, one year later. Live and learn eh? Microsoft has caused me some grief with this in the past, I've got my system set to NOT update overnight, thanks anyways Bill.
