Windows Vista no longer valid

Question
-
My computer failed to load windows (Vista 64 bit). Tried to repair it by inserting the Vista disk and it is now loading. Having tried to validate I am now getting a "The validation service is unable to determine whether this copy of Windows Vista is genuine." message.
The update process is disabled when I put the Vista disk in, leaving the only option of completely re-installing windows, with the loss of programs, files etc. Is there any way I can validate without re-installing?

Thanks Darin,
In the end I reinstalled vista from scratch. (and counted myself lucky that I back up on a regular basis!)- Marked as answer by Darin Smith MS Wednesday, November 18, 2009 9:27 PM

Hello jerrob,
Would you try the below steps and tell me if it resolves your issue?
1) Open an Internet Browser
2) Type %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
8) Type: cd %windir%\system32
9) Type net start slsvc
10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)
11) Reboot Twice
12) You will likely be asked to enter a Product Key. Use th one found on the sticker on the side or bottom of the computer
Note: I have a feeling that there may be multiple issues at work, so if the aboves steps don't fully resolve the issue, they may have fixed part of it. So when you post back, be sure to re-run the Diagnostic Report so I can see if anything has changed.
Thank you,

HI Darin,
Have tried the above but when I type 'net start slsvc into the CMD window a dialogue box appears stating:
"the program or feature "\??\C:\Windows\system32\net.exe" cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available."

Hi jerrob,
You got thru the importent part of the steps. Just reboot, if there are no other issues, the Service should automaticly start. You can then open a CMD window again and proceed thru steps 9-12.
Thank you,

I just wanted to personally thank you for posting this thread. I had the same problem with my Windows Vista machine, but my problems started when my computer seemed to be frozen from a restarted Scan Disk. I restarted the computer without waiting because it was stuck on 99% completed for over 45minutes. I then received the Windows Vista error and started to panic when I first booted up my PC. I only had a little time to do some online searching, but with a fresh brain the next day I was able to get it resolved from this thread. I started looking through posts and I found this, not only was it very helpful but it got me back to work quickly! I would try to make this posting number one in the thread because it saved me so much time and stress.
Thank you again and I hope this thread helps with others with the same problem as it did with me.Wednesday, November 18, 2009 3:47 PM
