Windows Vista not genuine RRS feed

  • Question

  • I upgraded my laptop recently and received a message that the copy of my Vista Operating system was not genuine.  I tried to activate the software by phone and computer with no success.  I ran the diagnostic and it returned a similar profile to the last member on this website.  I put in a request for support and will let you know the results.  It's annoying since I purchased the computer from HP about 4 yearas ago with an OEM version of vista preloaded.

    You have what is known as a Trusted Store Tamper.
    <quote Darin>
     Your Diagnostic Report is telling me that your Windows is suffering from a Trusted Store Tamper.   In Windows, there are files that have, what is known as, a Digital Signature. A Digital Signature is an industry standard that ensures that a file is, in fact, from the specified source. If a file is modified, in any way, the Digital Signature is broken.
     
    Example: lets say you get a Printer Driver that is Digitally Signed from HP. Since the Digital Signature was created by a Trusted Source (HP) a Certificate is created within Window's Trusted Store. The Digital Signature is dependent on the file's Hash (think fingerprint) so if the file is changed in any way, it's Digital Signature is broken and becomes invalid.  So lets say that the HP Driver got modified by some sort of Malware. The File's Hash would no longer match the hash listed in the Digitally Signature (or the Signature may not even be readable at that point). The Digital Signature become invalid because windows now don't know what has been done to that file, so the file can no longer be trusted. This in turn invalidates the corresponding Certificate within the Trusted Store.
     
      What I have described in the above example is basically what is happening with your Windows.  Some Digitally Signed file has been modified in some way and the Certificate within Windows's Trusted Store has become invalid (i.e. no longer trusted) which invalidates the Certificate in the Trusted Store and that is what has triggered the Non-Genuine messaging.
     

      Unfortunately, none of my tools are able to pinpoint which file/signature/certificate is causing the problem. However there are a few thing you can try that may correct the issue.
     

      1) First off not all Digitally Signed files are Drivers, but from experience we have found that this issue seems to occur the most with Drivers.  So my first suggestion is to confirm that all your hardware drivers are up to date. Note: Figuring out id a Driver is up to date and/or replacing a driver with a more current one can sometimes take semi-advanced computer knowledge and me explaining the process is outside the scope of this forum. If you do not know how to work with Drivers seek assistance or skip down to #2 or #3 below
     
      2) Restore Windows back to a past System Restore Point.
     
    1) Boot into Windows
    2) Click the ‘Start’ button
    3) In the Start Search field, type: System Restore and hit “Enter” keyboard key
    4) Select "Choose Different Restore Point", Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days", select the restore point that corresponds to a date Before you first noticed the issue.
    5) Click the "Next" button.
    6) Reboot
     
      3) Repair Windows using the 'sfc /scannow' command
     
    The Scan Now will look for any bad Windows files and attempt to repair them, if possible (it isn't always able to)
     
    1) Login to Windows
    2) Click the Start button
    3) Type: cmd.exe in the search field
    4) Right-click the cmd.exe file and select Run as Administrator
    5) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
    6) Reboot and see if that resolves the issue.
     
    If none of my suggestions resolves the issue, then the only other thing I can suggest is to either create a (no cost) support request at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactwga or reinstall Windows.
     
    Thank you,

    You have what is known as a Trusted Store Tamper.
    <quote Darin>
     Your Diagnostic Report is telling me that your Windows is suffering from a Trusted Store Tamper.   In Windows, there are files that have, what is known as, a Digital Signature. A Digital Signature is an industry standard that ensures that a file is, in fact, from the specified source. If a file is modified, in any way, the Digital Signature is broken.
     
    Example: lets say you get a Printer Driver that is Digitally Signed from HP. Since the Digital Signature was created by a Trusted Source (HP) a Certificate is created within Window's Trusted Store. The Digital Signature is dependent on the file's Hash (think fingerprint) so if the file is changed in any way, it's Digital Signature is broken and becomes invalid.  So lets say that the HP Driver got modified by some sort of Malware. The File's Hash would no longer match the hash listed in the Digitally Signature (or the Signature may not even be readable at that point). The Digital Signature become invalid because windows now don't know what has been done to that file, so the file can no longer be trusted. This in turn invalidates the corresponding Certificate within the Trusted Store.
     
      What I have described in the above example is basically what is happening with your Windows.  Some Digitally Signed file has been modified in some way and the Certificate within Windows's Trusted Store has become invalid (i.e. no longer trusted) which invalidates the Certificate in the Trusted Store and that is what has triggered the Non-Genuine messaging.
     

      Unfortunately, none of my tools are able to pinpoint which file/signature/certificate is causing the problem. However there are a few thing you can try that may correct the issue.
     

      1) First off not all Digitally Signed files are Drivers, but from experience we have found that this issue seems to occur the most with Drivers.  So my first suggestion is to confirm that all your hardware drivers are up to date. Note: Figuring out id a Driver is up to date and/or replacing a driver with a more current one can sometimes take semi-advanced computer knowledge and me explaining the process is outside the scope of this forum. If you do not know how to work with Drivers seek assistance or skip down to #2 or #3 below
     
      2) Restore Windows back to a past System Restore Point.
     
    1) Boot into Windows
    2) Click the ‘Start’ button
    3) In the Start Search field, type: System Restore and hit “Enter” keyboard key
    4) Select "Choose Different Restore Point", Put a check in the box that says "Show restore points older than 5 days", select the restore point that corresponds to a date Before you first noticed the issue.
    5) Click the "Next" button.
    6) Reboot
     
      3) Repair Windows using the 'sfc /scannow' command
     
    The Scan Now will look for any bad Windows files and attempt to repair them, if possible (it isn't always able to)
     
    1) Login to Windows
    2) Click the Start button
    3) Type: cmd.exe in the search field
    4) Right-click the cmd.exe file and select Run as Administrator
    5) In the CMD window, type: sfc /scannow
    6) Reboot and see if that resolves the issue.
     
    If none of my suggestions resolves the issue, then the only other thing I can suggest is to either create a (no cost) support request at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactwga or reinstall Windows.
     
    Thank you,

  • Noel,

     

    The problem is I lost my restore points in the transfer to a new drive.
