I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (a honest official copy) ive gotten this once or twice in the past, but i have a genuine copy of the OS. Will this eventually lead to an update that causes an error or conflict with my OS?
Windows not genuine?
Windows not genuine?
So I opened my Acer aspire laptop and got this in the bottom right corner:

You just cant update it and I think and it might stop working after 30 days unless you verificate it. Not entirely sure doe.

Windows believes that you have an illegal copy. If you do have an illegal copy, what I say will not help you at all. This is a rather severe problem so you should make fixing it a high priority.
That being said, I saw this once. System Restore NOW, go back a day or two (or maybe a few days). It should fix the problem and you shouldn't have the problem again.
It was the strangest thing back then. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again (to you, in this case).

I used the restore disks I got with my laptop from best buy. My last hard drive broke, so I used the restore disks to put the operating system on a new hard drive. But I'll do the system restore and see how it works.

Oh, you could have told us that.
Ok, the operating system needs activated after being installed. The OS attempts to do this automatically and will generate that error message if things failed (meaning that what you just done may have been illegal and may mean that your copy of Windows is worthless now). From what you say, you should be fine in doing the install that you have done.
Go to your Control Panel > System and Security > System. At the bottom is a section for Windows activation. It should say something bad there (like your copy is not genuine). Follow directions there. You want to activate your copy of Windows (likely over the phone) as opposed to buying a new copy of Windows. On the phone, you will have to explain what you have done and follow their directions. If they feel that you did something which is legal then they will tell you how to fix this problem. If they feel that you did something illegal then they will tell you that you must buy a new copy of Windows.
If you get lost, post screenshots and we can guide you.
