Authentic Windows problems

• Not authentic "Windows" problem

  Story: My Dell Inspiron laptop has been running Windows Vista when initially purchased in 2009.   Dell has provided a free upgrade to Windows 7, and this upgrade went well several years ago.  Thus, the machine has been works well on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 for awhile.
  Don't know if this is important: a couple of months, I replaced the hard drive.   I did a backup/restore image for the operating system on the new drive.   I don't think that I was invited to return keys validation of Windows at this time here.   I had no problem and the machine worked well after the replacement of the hard disk.
  Now, all of a sudden I get a pop up window that says "this computer is not running genuine Windows.
  However, my Windows is genuine!
  I tried to solve the problem by installing the WindowsActivationUpdate.exe, but will not install.   I get the error message "update installation failed.   Information about the error - 0xC8000247
  I tried to get the Windows product key (from the sticker on the bottom of the laptop) via Control Panel/system/change the product key but it says invalid key!
  Something is clogged to the top, but I don't know what.
  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  Thank you for your response.    I tried several related suggestions and more did not help.   That seems to have solved my problem of Windows Update is reinstalling the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver as suggested by george1009 in your third link above.

  As for my Activation of Windows problem, I typed in the wrong product key.  I entered the key on the sticker on the computer, but it is valid only for Windows Vista (original OS), but not for Windows 7 (current operating system).  I found that my Windows 7 upgrade disk envelope and who had the key valid on it.
  Thanks again for your help.

• Friend upgrade XP to windows 7. not authentic Windows message receipt. Buy Windows 7 and downloaded to "fix the problem".

  Friend upgrade XP to windows 7. not authentic Windows message receipt.  Buy Windows 7 and downloaded to "fix the problem". Computer crashed, but I got a new drive. Should I try install

  Hello

  So the Windows 7 machine is fine, but its also empty! That we can help you. The XP machine is another matter. If you want to upgrade these machines to Windows 7, and the minimum hardware requirement is met, you can buy discs of software of Windows 7 operating system for each machine (1 motherboard = 1 license for purchased software).

  In addition, I highly recommend you reformat two machines for them to XP RID completely, not to mention viruses / malware. If you plan to update the two XP machines with own versions of XP, that's fine, but this isn't the forum for this, the Windows XP forum would be the place, go here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp?tab=QnA .

  Thus, the machine to Windows 7. To take no chances. Allows to run several scans on the new machine. You said "didn't work any more", I suppose you can't start Windows, ways to correct? If so, the answer is a program you burn on a CD called BootMed; Download 64-bit here: http://download.cnet.com/BootMed-64Bit/3000-2094_4-75450831.html and the 32-bit version from here: http://download.cnet.com/BootMed/3000-2094_4-75448200.html (only use the Direct download link).

  Once downloaded, burn it to a CD, load this CD in Windows 7 computer and ensure that the CD drive is the first boot device, restart the computer. This will load a modified version of Ubuntu on your system, which includes antivirus and anti-malware programs. Run and remove anything they find. When they have finished their trial scans restarting the computer without the CD installed. What happens now?

  Post your results here and let me know how you fare.

• construction of not authentic Windows 7601 error

  I have not authentic windows build 7601 error and I tried MGADia.exe but it won't let me copy the report. I get an access denied error message. Even when I run slui.exe can help you to clear the message not authentic? Thank you.

  Hello

  The problem can be solved by recreating the license store.

  Perform the steps suggested by George1009 from the link below and check if it works.

  Answer please if you have any questions.

• Build 7601, not authentic Windows. Can I change OEM Retail?

  Windows 7 Home premium OEM worked very well on my PC at home built for 6 months or more. Then I started getting warnings that the version is not authentic. I bought the software from a reputable supplier and I thought that you had to use OEM on a new PC. I did research as much as I can on the subject, but I am reluctant to pay again for a commercial version. Can't understand why MS would allow sales OEM versions to the public if they can only be used by certified computer manufacturers? Is there something I can do? I don't mind paying a small fee if I committed a mistake, but not the entire cost.

  License data-->
  C:\Windows\system32\slmgr.vbs(1333, 5) (null): these data are incorrect.

  
  

  Your Windows problem seems to be due to a problem with the license store...

  Re-create the license store

  1) click the Start button.

  (2) type: CMD.exe in the field "search programs and files".

  (3) right click on CMD.exe and select run as administrator

  (4) type: net stop sppsvc (it may ask you if you're sure, select Yes)

  Note: the Software Protection service may not be running, that's ok.

  (5) type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

  (6) type: Rename tokens.bar tokens.dat

  (7) type: cd %windir%\system32

  (8) type: net start sppsvc

  (9) type: slui.exe

  (10) after a few seconds of activating Windows dialog box will appear. You may need to reactivate and/or re - enter your product key or Activation can occur automatically.

  Reboot, then run again MGADiag and post the report

• vCenter 4 & SQL with authentication Windows - errors in the event log

  I worked on a new installation of SQL 2005 & vCenter 4 and chose to follow the guidelines of good practice and have the configuration of authentication Windows for the DSN and vCenter services.  After a few small problems, I have everything works fine, however there are a lot of Application events generated on SQL Server as follows:

  Event type: Failure Audit

  Event source: MSSQLSERVER

  Event category: (4)

  Event ID: 18456

  Date: 10/20/2009

  User: NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON

  Computer: SQL03

  Description:

  It does not appear to pose any real problems, but I don't want my fill with these Application event logs and ideally I want to go to the bottom of him so I know nothings actually bad before it prepares for production.

  I know that this was a mistake that has been received (similar in any case) when you don't have your SQL Server set to mixed authentication & attempted to use SQL to your DSN account, but do not know what it is now.

  Any help appreciated.

  Doug.

  OK - managed to solve my problem by solving another...

  Noticed that graphs of Performance seen in vCenter threw an error - restarted the Management Services Web service on the server vCenter vCenter, solved the graphics Perf error and stopped SQL event logs generated too.

  I received a call from the saying that they would help my dose of my windows problems. Is it a scam?

  Hello

  They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling

  It's a scam.

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

• Missing programs, perhaps a Windows problem

  I was working on my computer very well, I've been on the internet for hours without problem (no antivirus warning and I wasn't downloading anything, only normal pages), and I have existing, up-to-date antivirus.

  Well, the problem is that most of my installed programs have just "party" and some standard Windows programs are gone too. Programs, I had on my system for years and have used several times without problem simply disappeared as well as programs such as calculator and paint. Well, they are the programs that I realized that I have lost so far. To give you an idea, go to start, programs, and usually 1 columns 3/4 programs are displayed, it is now maybe 2/3 of a column. When you go into program files, there is nothing in the missing programs, it seems that they have been uninstalled.

  I have done a complete analysis of the system through Norton Antivirus and came up with nothing. I restarted and then a box come to say a word about "Windows is unable to complete the program installation..." something in this direction, and nothing has come on my desktop except for the desktop, My Documents and trash. I did a restore of the system at the point of older, two weeks ago, and it came up saying: "we cannot complete the system restore, no change has been made."  Arghh!

  I'm computer literate and worked a bit in the it helpdesk and I have absolutely no idea. I think since this is a Windows problem that we may have to clean this completely and started from scratch with new windows. I you gave as the screenshots I can, to maybe give you an idea of what is happening. Note on the last note of screenshot that there are a few things has highlighted. I did not do that, then maybe it's the question? This is the "InstallShield Installation information", "Uninstall information", and "windows update". Also, I am happy to install Real VNC if that helps diagnose the problem. Can you please guide me the case, before you go to all this effort?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi cuteshey,

  Welcome on the site of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

   

  Solution 1: Update the drivers

• Windows Installer + VSS + Windows problems in Windows 7 SP1 Activation

  I used this Windows 7 machine for 5 years now and has recently encountered several problems, which probably are closely linked:

  1. Windows installation problem
  Can't update programs, although new install if they do need Windows Installer to do. Most but not all Windows not updates install.

  2. the problem of volume shadow copy Service

  Failed to create system restore points. With VSS errors appear when I try to do. No previous restore point is available.

  3. Activation of Windows problem
  A pop up keeps appearing every 1 or 2 hours, saying that my computer is not running genuine Windows. Obviously nonsense since this PC was bought during the original Service Pack 1 of Windows 7 and I've never had a problem before.

  I searched a lot online to solve all these problems. I tried hundreds of possible solutions, but nothing has worked. I think that it is all caused by the same thing, but I am unable to find it.

  Ready to provide more information. Thanks in advance.

  (PS: my camera has a pre installed Windows 7 so I own not a Windows DVD, don't want to reinstall the OS, prefer to try to find the cause of the mess)

  Do you have same problems if you create a new user account?

  What Antivirus utility you installed?

  Have you installed a new hardware or software or both since you started these problems?

  Could you describe some of the thing things you've tried?

  Start by checking your hard disk for errors:

  Click Start

  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD

  Click on "Run as Administrator"

  At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r

  When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

  then

  Click Start
  Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
  Click on "Run as Administrator"
  At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

  This will check for any breach of integrity

  Restart your system

  You can also try to perform a repair upgrade to see if it works. You need to download a copy of the edition of so that your system is under license:

  Download Windows 10, 8, 7 ISOs

• authentication window appear does not correctly

  Authentication popup window does not display the buttons to send or cancel submission of credentials. Keyboard still works, but the pop-up window is the frame is smaller than the content of the window.

  This is probably caused by the additional content that is added by LastPass extensions and AutoFill that do not fit in the authentication window.

  On Linux, I am able to resize this window in the usual way by dragging its highlight.

• Authentication (Windows Server 2013) AD Cisco ISE problem

  Background:

  Has deployed two Cisco ISE 1.1.3. ISE will be used to authenticate users wireless access admin WLC and switches. Database backend is Microsoft running on Windows Server 2012 AD. Existing Cisco ACS 4.2 still running and authenticate users. There are two Cisco WLCs version 7.2.111.3.

  Wireless users authenticates to AD, through works of GBA 4.2. Access admin WLC and switches to the announcement through ISE works. Authentication with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 access and admin PAP/ASCII wireless.

  Problem:

  Wireless users cannot authenticate to the announcement through ISE. This is the error message '11051 RADIUS packet contains invalid state attribute' & '24444 Active Directory failed because of an error that is not specified in the ISE'.

  

  Conducted a detailed test of the AD of the ISE. The test was a success and the result seems fine except for the below:

  Action taken:

  Log Cisco ISE and WLC by using the credentials of the AD. This excludes the connection AD, clock and AAA shared secret as the problem.

  (2) wireless authentication tested using EAP-FAST, but same problem occurs.

  (3) detailed error message shows below. This excludes any authentication and authorization policies. Even before hitting the authentication policy, the AD search fails.

  12304 extract EAP-response containing PEAP stimulus / response

  11808 extracted EAP-response containing EAP - MSCHAP VERSION challenge response to the internal method and accepting of EAP - MSCHAP VERSION such as negotiated

  24444 active Directory operation failed because of an error that is not specified in the ISE

  (4) enabled the registration of debugging AD and had a look at the logging. Nothing significant, and no clue about the problem.

  (5) wireless tested on different mobile phones with the same error and laptos

  (6) delete and add new customer/features of AAA Cisco ISE and WLC

  (7) ISE services restarted

  (8) join domain on Cisco ISE

  (9) notes of verified version of ISE 1.1.3 and WLC 7.2.111.3 for any open caveats. Find anything related to this problem.

  10) there are two ISE and two deployed WLC. Tested a different combination of ISE1 to WLC1, ISE1 to WLC2, etc. This excludes a hardware problem of WLC.

  Other possibilities/action:

  1) test it on another version WLC. Will have to wait for approval of the failure to upgrade the WLC software.

  (2) incompatibility between Cisco ISE and AD running on Microsoft Windows Server 2012

  Did he experienced something similar to have ideas on why what is happening?

  Thank you.

  Update:

  (1) built an another Cisco ISE 1.1.3 sever in another data center that uses the same domain but other domain controller. Thai domain controller running Windows Server 2008. This work and successful authentication.

  (2) my colleague tested in a lab environment Cisco ISE 1.1.2 with Windows Server 2012. He has had the same problem as described.

  This leads me to think that there is a compatibility issue of Cisco ISE with Windows Server 2012.

  
  

  
  

  Yes, it seems that 1.1.3 doesn't support Server 2012 as of yet.

  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".

  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

• Activation of Windows problem just popped up

  Help... I have a Compaq Presario Desktop PC SR5710F March 2009 that worked very well.

  It has Window Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.

  Unexpectedly, in the lower right corner, he says now Windows Vista (TM) Build 6002 this copy of Windows is not genuine

  In Control Panel-> system Panel, at the bottom, it has a section of Windows Activation.

  You must activate today. Activate windows now.

  Product ID: XXXXX-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX and change product key

  When we choose the "activate now", you get another jump to the top of table.

  Product key Windows Vista family premium you typed is invalid for activation

  and he gives three choices:

  • Buy a new product key online
  • Type a different product key
  • contact the HP company to help solve this problem (tried, but the system is out of warranty)

  Don't know what happened and why... Can not find the package of the system with an activation key CD (might not come with one, honestly don't remember as far behind). I don't want to do a full restore from the hard drive and go back to square 1. and do not want to buy another license of Vista for a burp of system.

  Any Suggestions?... Is it possible to contact HP on an output of the guarantee system for something like this addressed.

  Hello

  The unit does not include windows cd or DVD.

  Check if you have the sticker COST of windows on the chassis of the device, and then try to enter this product key.

  Have you tried to contact Microsoft and give them your key? See if you can get in touch with them.

  Let me know if you have the Certification of the authenticity of the COA for windows and if you were able to type the key.

  Thank you
