  Hi,

  I get a pop up window saying that "an unauthorised change was made to Windows."  The error message code is 0xC004D401

  When I go online to "learn more online" I try and validate windows but it fails and says:

  This copy of Windows did not pass genuine validation.
  A software program installed on this computer may be incompatible with Windows Vista.

   

  I have looked through the list of known software conflicts and the only thing I have ever used is Trend PC Cillin.  I have removed Trend over a year ago (even before upgrading to Vista).  If I search my computer for "trend" I find a few files and folders that have trend in the title but I can't delete them because it says the files can no longer be found.  This aside, I don't really think the problem is related to Trend as my version of trend was more recent than the version known to have issues with Vista.

   

  I tried chkdsk and all seemed ok.

   

  I tried the net start slsvs command also without sucess.

   

  I had this validation error a few months back and it just seemed to go away but now it's back with a vengence.  Any ideas?

   

  Thanks.
