Strange error

[Yahtzee]

story time: i start up my computer. goes to a black screen and gives me a error stating... 
"an unauthorized error message was made to your license. to keep your system stable, you must go online and validate that your software is genuine " giving me 2 options. validate online/close.  about 5 mins later it pops up another error. the error code it comes with is 0XC004D401 then goes on to say more stuff about vaildation. it says it wont give me any errors about this again.

Part 2

I read up on dis shiz and find out it is caused by 1. Hard disk error or 2. incompatible programs installed on yo computer.  Flashback: ive been getting errors on my computer saying the java program i installed on my computer is incompatible.

I restart my computer and it starts up fine and dandy for some reason, go into program files, and delete java.

is this somthing i should be worried about? or is it a bigger problem?

Maybe a program is getting in the way of Windows 7 Activation?

ya if it says something about windows being genuine then you probably did something to the activation key or something. java has no control over your computer startup whatsoever.

Hmm. Check your processes in your taskmanager for wierd .exe files.

It could maybe a virus if its something with harddisk. Like a false alarm shiz.

Just find all the processes on google runned by you (Not the system etc.)

This is the reason.

Its vista 32 bit, which has a known compatibility issue (pre-Service Pack 2) with many anti-virus - hopefully corrected after SP2.

.. Just another reason why Vista fails hard.

Just open your Windows Update and search for updates. If it finds any then download them, restart your computer. Or..reformat.
