This process was denied which required me to place a phone call. During that call I was told there was no way to verify my existence on this planet because I don't have a credit card. The superpower they use to track me has no information that says I'm real. I'm not even a memory. Talk about privacy. I love it. You seem to have very bad luck. I don't see it that way at all. I see it as having a very secure ID, I have no credit cards, I never did by choice. I can't be verified or Identified therefore I can't be categorized or victimized. If someone stole my faults ID what good would it do. If the government doesn't even know who I am than how good it that? I was referring to "all" the issues you bring to the forum, not just the Social Security incident. If you think the government doesn't know who you are, try not paying your taxes and see what happens. I never think of myself as having bad luck considering the variety of things I get involved in. I think I actually enjoy a measure of "trouble". It keeps the blood flowing. I am sure the government "seekers" are well aware of everything about me. I do have a job and pay taxes. What else is this forum for but posts regarding bad luck adventures of Microsoft Windows 7. I didn't say or imply anything about the purpose of the forum. I simply stated my observation about your lack of good luck, which is based upon the number of issues you raise in this group. I will have to review my posts and see if I agree now that many of the issues have been resolved. It all must have something to do with my uncontrollable urge to tinker. Years ago I had a neighbor who purchased a 100 year old house on the property next to my 110 year old house. Your average 100 year old house requires a fair amount of maintenance and he was not what one would call "handy". For several years, I and the other neighbors were helping him out with repairs on a regular basis. It was a friendly area and the rest of us were quite good with such things. One day when three of us were helping him dig up and replace a lead pipe leading to his septic tank, one of the guys asked him "What made you buy this place? Didn't you realize how much work it would be and that you aren't good with such things?" His reply was classic, he said "Yeah, I knew it would be a lot of work but I saw all of your houses and I figured I could find people to help me." All of us told him that he should have bought a brand new condo in the city and that it was getting kind of tedious doing all this work without at least a keg of beer and pizza and or having him show up when any of us needed another back for a project. He told us that so far, he hadn't needed to do that as we were helping him for free. Needless to say, it wasn't long after that most of us stopped taking his calls and he ended up moving to the city. Good times....... So if I buy you pizza and beer you'll help me clean MY septic tank? I bet I couldn't find anyone to do any of that kind of work these days. I remember moving and all I had to do was announce the presence of a keg of beer and more people would show up than were needed. The catch was the beer was at an undisclosed location that by coincidence happened to be in the back yard of the new place. No, now that I am well into my 90's I would not help you replace a pipe going to your septic tank unless you were to do all the digging, buy all the materials, acquire all the tools and do all the labor, turning to me only for advice and affirmation. Oh, and the beer would have to be served by a size 0 - 2, 28 year old, female, hard-body with DD cup boobs and loose morals. Addendum, she would also need to have poor eyesight........ I can't say I know any but do know quite a few that have poor judgement and real bad memories. |

I rebooted and all was well. Now a few days later I get the same message. Is anyone familiar with a direct fix? I've read about other fixes but I'd like to get a first hand account of what really works to set this installation straight. Thanks for any suggestions. Get the pirate program "Windows 7 Loader". Whether you used to be legit or not, it'll shut it up. I was amused by that download. I don't think I have the brass to use something that says it's not legit. I've used it since Windows 7 came out, and never had a problem with it. I am at a point where I'm more or less in favor of pirating Windows after all the problems MicroSoft releases. Windows 10 is free anyway, so even if you don't like piracy, you're not really doing it anymore :-) Some people have employment and do not need to pirate software. You are long term unemployed and always will be. If the guy is as much of a troll as you say he is, why the hell are you engaging and encouraging him? Mick is the troll.

“This copy of Windows is not genuine” OT
" I remember getting those reports delivered by mail. I have been curious for some time now about just where I am in that food chain. I'm wondering if it would be any benefit to me to select Medicare rather than paying my share of a healthcare package not picked up by my employer. I've been considering becoming self employed in my older years. The drive to work is the most dangerous thing I ever do on the 80 miles I put in every day. The roads I travel are a crime scene and there is nothing any one can do about it. Here in New Hampshire they are now just getting around to adding a third lane on the major exit into Mass. The inability of them to ID me can be remedied with an in person visit to the local S.S. office. Yes, Medicare and a private employer-subsidized healthcare package is something to be thought out. In my case, my wife is nine years younger than me so if I still am employed with my company at Medicare age in three years, I would still need to keep my company insurance to cover her. My own claims would then be submitted to the company's insurance first (high deductible, really just a discount on the claim amount) and then Medicare would pay 80% of the balance as secondary provider. |
