My vista is being tagged as "not genuine"

Question：

My PC came with the OS already installed. After a couple of days I keep getting mesages from MS to activate/validate. Typed my P. Key to activate and got another mesage talking about an error code 0xc004F058   

Answer 1：

Hello Dorisandro,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Vista Answers Forum!

This problem may occur because a specific system setting is removed when a program runs with administrative credentials. The removal of this system setting may cause a BIOS validation check to fail.
