It is important to know if the copy of the Windows installed in your system is genuine, if it is pirated, you will have to uninstall it and install a genuine copy. If it is a genuine copy, please try the steps mentioned in the link http://www.askiyogi.com/windows/6798.html given below


1) Open an Internet Browser
