I had this issue with a Toshiba netbook. I bought windows 7 premuim upgrade disc and the upgrade went very smoothly. It ran faultesly for 6 months then one day I switched it on and it said windows wasnt genuine. It did boot up though and went into the desktop without a hitch. It happened just the once though and its never happened since. Like you I knew my windows was genuine. * +
