    Just bought a new Sony Vaio laptop (VGN-N320E) and receiving the similar problem that my Windows Vista is not recognized as genuine.

    This problem started occuring after I ran Windows Update for the first time.

    I went online and validated my Windows using both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    I tried this below...but didn't work.

    (If you access to the start button)

    1) Click the Start button

    2) Type cmd in the Start Search field

    3) At the top the Start window, you will see cmd.exe

    4) Right Click cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator

    5) Type: cscript %windir%\System32\slmgr.vbs /ilc %windir%\System32\licensing\ppdlic\Security-Licensing-SLC-ppdlic.xrm-ms

    6) Hit the Enter key

    7) Reboot 2 times

    I called Microsoft and they had me follow through with steps 8-10.  When I tried to activate over the phone that didn't work.
    So what they told me to do a system restore which worked.  Lost all my newly installed programs but the error is gone and I can update and use the control panel and Aero.

    Problem resolved!

    I know that this problem coincides with not being able to use Windows Update, or Aero, but I can't open Control Panel either.  When I click on  Control Panel a box pops up and within a second it dissapears.  I'm guessing this problem goes hand in hand with having this windows not genuine problem?

    Hi Brandon_Spud,

     

      Yes, it's called Soft RFM (Reduced Functionality Mode) and it disables Windows Updates (except critical updates), Aero and Control Panel.

     

      It unfortunate that the cscript steps did not work (it usually does in this type of case) so the next step would be to use the Product Key found on the CoA sticker on the bottom of your laptop.

     

    1) Click the Start button

    2) Right-click on Computer

    3) Select Properties

    4) Click the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the window.

    5) Follow the directions to change the product key, but make sure you Activate by Phone

    6) When you Activate by Phone, you will be greeted by an automated voice, either select the option that takes you to a live Activation Rep or if no option is provided, don't press anything and this should force the Automated Voice to transfer you to the Live Rep.

     

    (Activating by Phone and talking to the live Activation Rep are the importent parts, since activating by the internet will not work, nor will activating thru the phone's Automated Voice).

     

    Thank you,

    These directions don't help at all.

    The Properties section of Computer is under Control Panel, thus I'm denied access to this particular page.  When I right-click and choose Properties no new window pops up.

     Is there anyway around this?

    Also, what is the phone number to call to activate?

    Hi Brandon,

     

      That should not happen, in RFM, we disable the Control Panel Interface, but we do not disable programs, that reside in the Control Panel, from being launched.

     

      If no window comes up when you right-click Computer and select Properties, it sounds like you have a larger issue then Non-activated and once we get your Vista Activated, you may have additional issues to be resolved.

     

      OK, the alternate steps to get you to the Change Product Key window is to:

    1) Click the Start button

    2) Type: slui.exe 3 and hit the Enter key

    3) Type in the Product key from the sticker on your computer

    4) Click the Next button.

    5) You will be asked if want to Activate, click ok

    6) It will attempt to Activate by the internet and will return an Invalid Key error (this is ok, continue to step 7)

    7) Click the Start button

    8) Type: slui.exe 4 and hit the Enter key

    9) Select your location in the drop down menu and click the Next button

    10) The next screen provides the number to call to Activate by Phone

    NOTE: when you call that number, you will first hear an Automated Voice that will try to Activate Vista for you. If the Atomated Voice gives you an option to talk to a Live Activation Rep, select that option. If not, do not enter any numbers. This should force the Automated Voice to transfer you to a Live Activation Rep. Trying to Activate thru the Automated Voice will not work, in your case, only thru the Live Activation Rep will your Activation be successful. 

     

    Once completed, you may need to reboot twice.

     

    Thank you,
