3.1 update seen withdraw their authorization Windows Vista

I installed the 3.1 update, and when I started my Vista virtual machine (that has Microsoft updates all day) and upgrading VMWare Tools, now I get this message:

"Windows activation:

An unauthorized change was made to Windows.

"You must re - type your Windows Vista professional product key to activate.

When I get home tonight I will see if I can find my original installation material and product key.

Upgrading VMWare Fusion should not break it. He has not in the past.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.3 running VMWare Fusion 3.1 and the virtual machine is running Windows Vista Business Service Pack 2.

I'm having the same problem. Help, please. Can not even connect on bootcamp.

    My son turned off the computer before the update of configuration was complete.  It uses a Compaq Vista premium desktop computer.  The operating system will not load (it is stuck in a loop trying to reconfigure the old settings before the update).  We have tried to start in Mode safe mode and do a system restore.  The first available date is November 15, when the update occurred.  System Restore got the point to finalize and then jammed (lasted at least 4 hours).   Any suggestions other than a complete system to recharge?

    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.

    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.

    Note

    If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.

    4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.

    5. click on repair your computer.

    6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.

  • Windows Update does not recognize that Windows Vista SP2 is NOT installed.

    I have Windows Vista x 64 with SP1 and I defined updates on automatic.  However, it does recognize that the SP2 is not installed...  I'm afraid to try to install it manually after reading all the trouble with SP2 on this site.  Could you please tell me why the updates fails to recognize the SP2 is not installed and I have to do to solve it?  I'm not a master IT person, I just want my computer to be as up-to-date as possible.

    Thanks for the advice and any help I can get.

    Hi Alamogordo,

    Welcome to Microsoft Windows forums!

    Automatic updates would have tried to install sp2 and the installation was corrupt and failed.  So it will not try to reinstall. We have to uninstall sp2 to view update history and try to download and install manually.

    1. click on Start to type windows update in the start search box and click on enter

    2. click on view history of update and uninstall sp2 (kb948465)

    3. use the below given link to download sp2 (download to your desktop)

    4 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=891ab806-2431-4d00-afa3-99ff6f22448d & displaylang = in & displaylang = in

    Follow these methods before installing sp2

    Method 1

    Try to put your computer in clean boot mode and check if the problem persists. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista or Windows 7 by performing a clean boot.

    Steps to put your computer in a clean boot:

    1. click on Start
    2. type msconfig in the Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

    1. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    2. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
    3. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
    4. click on OK.
    5. When you are prompted, click restart.

    Method 2

    Run the system update tool

    System resources, such as file of data, even in the data memory and registry data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifecycle of the operating system. These contradictions may be caused by various hardware failures or can be caused by software problems. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows Service store, and they can cause software updates not do not work. The system update tool attempts to resolve these inconsistencies.

    1. open the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 scroll through Microsoft Download Center where several links under this section.

    2. first link is for 32-bit operating system and the second is 64-bit.

    3. click on the appropriate link, then run it on your computer.

    4. Once completed, try to install sp2 through automatic updates

    5. in the case of a failure to install manually

    NOTE: TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER TO A NORMAL STARTUP AFTER TRYING THE STEPS ABOVE.

    Click Start, in the search box to start, type msconfig and press ENTER.
    Select Normal startup, and then press apply and OK
