    I use Microsoft Security Essentials and disabled it before trying the repair install. I also unplugged all devices except the internet connection.  But, I didn't look at the device manager.

    Now, when I look at it, there are no devices shown, even after turning on viewing of hidden devices. 

     

    I beginning to think that I need to reinstall Windoze 7 from scratch...

    The only known cure in Win 7 appears to be a System Restore -
    although this XP fix  *may* apply, use it at your own risk  ( a quick look tells me that it should work, if this is your problem)

    Hello Victor Norman,

    Your Diagnostic Report suggests that there may be a problem with Window 7's Licensing Store file, try the below steps to recreate the Store.

    1) Click Start button.
    2) Type: CMD.exe into the 'Search programs and files' field
    3) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select Run as Administrator
    4) Type: net stop sppsvc   (It may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
    Note: the Software Protection servive may not be running, this is ok.
    5) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
    6) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
    7) Type: cd %windir%\system32
    8) Type: net start sppsvc
    9) Type: slui.exe
    10) After a couple of seconds Windows Activation dialog will appear. You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key or Activation may occur automatically.

     

    Thank you,

    Darin MS

    I'm afraid this did not work for me.  I tried it several times (the 2nd and 3rd times, renaming tokens.dat to tokens.bar2, then tokens.bar3 (hope that was OK)), but each time it still said there was a problem with the activation key.  At the last step, I tried just choosing Activate Now (I think that's what it said) and I tried Reentering my Product Key, but neither choice worked...

     

    I'm including the output from MGAdiag again, just in case there is something here that has changed that may give you a clue.

    Please check the file system – the error code is one that we would normally associate with an OEM_SLP Key, rather than a Retail one.
    Click on the Start button
    type in the Search box
    CMD.EXE
    right-click on the only file that is found
    Select Run as Administrator
    - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up
    At the Command prompt, type
    CHKDSK C: /R
    and hit the Enter key
    You will be told that the drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot. The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!

    After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC

    SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
    Click on the Start button
    type in the Search box
    CMD.EXE
    right-click on the only file that is found
    Select Run as Administrator
    - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up
    At the Command prompt, type

    SFC /SCANNOW

    and hit the Enter key
    Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.

    run another MGADiag report, and post the results.

    The chkdsk and sfc didn't show any problems with the disk.  I'm not surprised, as I regularly run ccleaner, defraggler, etc., to keep things clean.  Here are the mgadiag results now:

    The chkdsk and sfc didn't show any problems with the disk.  I'm not surprised, as I regularly run ccleaner, defraggler, etc., to keep things clean.  Here are the mgadiag results now:

    It appears that the script is still unable to properly run - I suspect that you may have to go through a repair install to get it to do so (certainly, from my records, that's the only thing that has worked in similar circumstances)

    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html?ltr=R

    If you're reluctant to do that, then all I can suggest is that you contact MS WGA support for assistance, but I suspect that they will tell you the same thing.

    WGA Support can be found here-

    North America: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_genadv_master?ws=support&ws=support#tab4

    Outside North America:
    http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support#tab0

    Please let us know if (and how) MS manage to repair the problem without a repair install of the OS - it would be useful for future reference!

    When I run the repair install, it gets to step 9 ("Windows will now check for any compatibility issues. If any are found like in the example below, take care of them first then restart the repair install process over again.") and hangs forever.  I've let it run for a couple of hours and it does not make progress...

     

    Does this give any more hints as to what may be wrong?

     

    (Thank you for your prompt answers in the past!  It has been a pleasure to work with you so far.)

    That sounds like either AV or driver problems
    Uninstall your AV temporarily, and run the manufacturer’s removal/cleanup tool.
    Look in Device Manager, and enable viewing of hidden devices – uninstall any that show yellow or red flags.
    then try again.

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials and disabled it before trying the repair install. I also unplugged all devices except the internet connection.  But, I didn't look at the device manager.

    Now, when I look at it, there are no devices shown, even after turning on viewing of hidden devices.  

     

    I beginning to think that I need to reinstall Windoze 7 from scratch...

    The only known cure in Win 7 appears to be a System Restore -
    although this XP fix  *may* apply, use it at your own risk  ( a quick look tells me that it should work, if this is your problem)
