    It's probably important to include whether your copy of Windows is actually genuine or not.

    Indeed - not being genuine is far and away the most common cause of this problem.

    Additionally, by opening an elevated command prompt it is possible to re-activate using the following command.

    Code:
    C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs -rearm

    I fixed this issue on a friends laptop - with genuine Windows - by doing the following
    open command prompt and run
    regsvr32%systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll
    if that doesn't fix the problem
    go to add/remove programs
    show windows updates
    find and delete KB971033
    reboot
    windows update will reinstall the KB971033
    In my case the KB971033 was the culprit. Windows was seen as genuine as it was genuine. Reinstalling KB971033 did not recreate the problem
    I hope this works for you
