Hi everyone I am having a issue on a friends asus laptop. They asked me to look at it as there was an issue on a update and the pc crashed giving error on boot up. I ran the Vista ultimate repair disk and the system booted up okay after that.
Once logged in as administrator what I found was that control panel disappeared and an Windows genuine software message came up. The laptop as I mentioned is an asus laptop with a lisenced copy of Vista with the microsoft label underneath etc etc.
I have read things on the forums about running services and turning on the SL UI notification service, as well has checking validity from the microsoft site. I have tried the SL UI and it fails to start giving the following error code 0xC000022.
That error then sends me to the Genuine software page when I try and validate windows it says its not genuine and tells me to do the following
Click the Start button, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then choose Run as administrator. The Command Prompt window opens.
In the Command Prompt window, type the command net start slsvc and then press ENTER.
When I do this I get the following error
C:\Users\xxxx>net start slsvc
The Software Licensing service is starting.
The Software Licensing service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
ANy ideas how to move forward with this?
If the key has somehow changed with the repair disk how do I fix this issue ?
