    Hello cavegad,

    I'm seeing two issues in your Diagnostic Report.

    1. Vista not Activated

    2. Vista showing a Trusted Store tamper.  This is usually associated with a hardware driver that is not fully compatible with Vista. This is probably also aggravating the problem you are having trying to Activate.

      I am unsure if this will resolve the issue Tamper issue, but I am hoping that the below steps will allow you to get activated and at that point, you can then start ensuring all your hardware drivers are up todate.

     
    1) Open an Internet Browser window. (click the "Use Windows with Reduced Functionality" should open a browser, otherwise, try the Learn More Online option, if available)
    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) Restart your computer twice.
    12) You may be required to enter the Product Key and/or Activate.

    Thank you,
    Darin MS

    I tried the steps above and everything seemed to work at the command prompt level.  When I rebooted, it wanted the product key.  Then it said something about an unauthorized action had taken place....it flew by so fast I couldn't read it.

    Then it went straight to the activate online.

    Same problem.

    I had Vista on an old machine.  When that machine died, I salvaged the C: drive for more storage (where my OS had been).  But it's just a slave drive and I'm sure I formatted it.

    Been working on this problem for 4 hours now.  Oh, and I ran the product authentication program and everything was okay. 

    Looks like I'm not the only one.  When I typed in that error message, it looks like the whole world has had this problem.  Lots of Google hits.

    Hello HeadleyMan
    Looks like I'm not the only one.  When I typed in that error message, it looks like the whole world has had this problem.  Lots of Google hits.



      If the error code you search for is 0xc004c4a8, then yes, all that error code means is "Not Activated".  Anyone that installed a trial copy of Windows, forgot to Activate, update the Bio on a computer that came with Windows preinstalled or any other situation where Windows can become Not Activated, would get that error code. (i.e very common situation).

     However, most Non-Genuine issues appear the same, but can be caused by different things.  That is why we ask all users to:

    1) Create thier Own Thread for ther Own issue (i.e. don't highjack someone else's thread) it's confusing for everyone when I try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

    2) Post a Diagnostic Report in that new thread.  Because most issues look the same, this is the best we for us to diagnose the underlying issue

    You can learn more about posting in this forum at the "Please Read Before Posting" Announcement on the main forum page.
