My system information gives me my first name & a number. Under
microsoft....updates says none available, but through the "custom" button, it
gives 1 uncritical update for media player. (this work was done 5/16, so
could there just not be any yet?) I went to jellybean....it gives me no
number. I couldn't figure out where to go & what to do at Belarc.

Assuming it is non genuine then make a note of the serial number and product
ID for use in court. Get the serial from magic jellybean. Get product ID
from right click my computer, system properties general tab, under
registered to.

100% sure.

I contacted microsoft. The lady said she thought it was piracy, but could
not
tell me for sure. She also said they would not advise me as the their
investigation or the results of it.

Is there a way for me to get information off my computer to prove this?
As
I
said, I would like to take him to small claims court & get my money
back.
I
don't believe he is going to supply me with the disc. I have contacted
him
3
times & he keeps giving me the run around. He says I got what I paid
for.....uninstalling ME & installing a new program. He said it didn't
matter
what system he put on my pc, ie. 98, Me, XP. How do I get a disc if he
doesn't give me one?
I have already reported him to microsoft & BSA. Why contact the local
authorities? What would they do?

I think I have been pirated. My pc crashed. I took it to repairman.
He
talked me into updating from ME to XP. I got tower back, but no CD,
floppies,
etc. I have asked for the backup disc, but he will not give me one.
He installed XP Pro Service Pack 2. How do I find out & prove if it
is
pirated
If your computer was upgraded from ME to XP and you didn't get the
official XP Upgrade disk or a Full/OEM XP Disk, then you got a pirated
copy of XP.
Tell the vendor that you want a legit XP CD/media or you're going to
report him to Microsoft and the BSA, and even the local authorities.
DO NOT LET HIM BACK AT YOUR COMPUTER once you do this.
He should also provide a COA (a Microsoft Sticker) that includes a 25
digit key:
A COA might look like one of the following:
