Answered by:
Vista suddenly now invalid???? Gateway not helpful

Question
-
I have Vista Home Premium
The license is listed as GATEWAY
I called them, they gave me one option - Do a system restore.
I DO NOT want to do this for fear of losing sensitive data... I have no idea when my last system restore point is.
There must be an alternative.
Here is my report for the validation tool....
Please help!

Hello Javaslinger,
First I would recommend purchasing an external hard drive and backup all of your files. This would prevent any catastrophic problems in case you would be actually forced to perform a system restoration. This is a great practice and USB external hard drives are relatively inexpensive. Next should you need further reassurance you can always use DVD's for a secondary backup in conjunction with your external hard drive.
Please review the following Knowledge Base (KB) article and refer to the resolution portion of the webpage:
KB931573 – You may be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer on which Windows Vista was already activated by a Volume License or OEM installation
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;931573
If the above does not resolve your issue, please follow the steps below. If the first set of steps does not resolve, move on to the next set of steps.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step set #1
1) Open Internet Explorer
2) A Browser will open, type: %windir%\system32 into the address field
3) Find the file cmd.exe
4) Right Click on the cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator
5) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)
6) Hit the Enter key
7) Reboot 2 times
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step set #2
1) Open Internet Browser
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) Reboot Twice
11) Windows Vista may require you to enter a Product Key [use the Certificate of Authenticity (COA)] SLP Product Key found on the sticker on the side or bottom of your computer and activate. Use the Activate by Phone method outlined below.
From the Desktop:
a) If you have access to the Start button: Click the Start button, and type in "slui.exe 4" in the search field and then press the "Enter" key. This will bring up the Activate by Phone dialog window. Follow the steps provided by the window. The phone activation process should only take about 6 minutes.
b) If you do not have access to the Start button: Reboot and login to Vista, a dialog window will come up. In that window, click the option "Access computer with reduced functionality". Once you do that, Internet Explorer or Firefox browser will open. In the address bar type "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" press enter, a new window will come up, type: slui 4 and hit enter and follow steps to Activate over the Phone.Also you may reference the following site for various Telephone Activation Centers:

Additional info... I tried the system restore...
There were 3 options... One on the 15th and one on the 12th both related to automatic updates... and one on the 11th... a system restore checkpoint...
I did the one on the 12th as I believe this issue coincided with the update on the 15th. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem..
I guess I will try the one on the 11th?
Thanks,
Javaslinger

I tried an earlier restore point and still it says it is invalid... It also pops up that I may be a victim of software counterfeiting....
Here is the MGAT file after the restore...
I am very concerned now after the failure of the system restores... Please help.

Javaslinger,
The error code you are seeing is for an "Unknown error" for Windows Vista validation. This is especially strange because you are running on what looks like a legitimate OEM machine, which should not have validation issues. It may be possible that your OEM license somehow got into a bad state.
Here is what we can do to help.
Please collect the MgaDiag logs cab file from following locationC:\MGADiagToolOutput
and send it toThis will help us in our investigation and efforts to provide you a solution.
Thanks
