>>>>Recently my work machine start displaying this message in the lower-right corner. On top of this, many of the feature and windows application start working. This included IIS and ODBC drivers. I have search the web for possible solutions but found nothing legal or even worked. Now, this last weekend my machine at home is doing the same. I know for a fact that my home machine is a legal copy of WIndows 7, for I bought when got the machine earlier this year. Has anyone encourtered this and found a solution short of reinstalling the OS and applications?

>>Anything in this internet world can be possible. But I did not see anyone indicate it was. Microsoft only suggestion is to purchase a legal copy of WIndows. I know for a fact it is. A couple of sites suggest contacting MS and validating the Product Key with them. Thay can confirm and fix the problem at their end. I guess it is worth the try. But the version here at work is a corperate licened version. Our IT admin took a look at it and attempt to reapply the key, only to have tell them that it could not validate the key with the source (??). Next they found the key on my machine and it is the same they try reentering, and the same on other's machine. Well, I guess the search continues. But I need to find a solution for IIS and ODBC are big part of the projects I am working on.

Would have a phone number?
