Unautorized change made to windows: Windows Vista Build 6002

Question
-
Hi,
I have recently started receiving a pop on start up saying that ' An unauthorized change was made to windows' with a black background with the following in the bottom right corner:
'Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6002
This copy of Windows is not genuine'My laptop is a Dell XPS M1330 which was purchased direct from Dell in January 2008 with Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed.
Over the years the Microsoft label has become unclear so I can no longer see all of the product key and do not have any other document with it on.
I have tried the troubleshoot steps in the following:

Date is showing correct
Cannot try changing the product key as I cannot see what it should be.
Reactivate by phone just brings up the 'An unauthorized change....' pop again
I have downloaded the MGA Diagnostics Tool and and hoping that someone can offer some help in resolving this matter by taking a look at the results:

The SFC found nothing to repair, surprisingly - 99% of Vista machines will report an unfixable error due to bad programming on MS's part :)
If the COA sticker isn't readable - is the Key on it at least, readable? If not, then this fix may be difficult to apply fully - but has to be run as far as it can.
The problem appears to be in the Licensing Store - please try the following.....
Recreate the Licensing Store with the correct data.
1) Open an Internet Browser window.
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.
You may be asked to enter your COA Key and/or Activate. – if asked for the Key, use the one on your COA sticker on the machine’s case (you may need to activate by telephone).
Once complete, run another MGADiag report and post back with the results.

We need to see the full reportt as produced by the tool.
To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
- **in your own thread**, pleasePlease also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/howtotell/Hardware.aspxHaving said that, it appears that you have a Trusted Store Tamper - such things are usually the result of malware, or disk problems.
Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked,
and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.
The chkdsk will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) - then run the SFC.
SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
SFC /SCANNOW
and hit the Enter key
Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.
Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
The COA sticker is worn out so I can't read it fully but it's 'Windows Vista Home Premium OEMAct'
I have ran CHKDSK and also the SFC but there is no CBS.log file created on my desktop. There were no errors whilst doing the SFC.
I have also re-ran the MGADiag report and here are the findings:

The CBS.log file is created in the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS folder - not on the desktop.
you have to COPY it to the desktop, then Compress it, and upload it to your Skydrive

Apologies for the delay in replying. I've carried out the steps above however I'm still receiving the activation screen on start up. As mentioned before I can't make out some of the characters for the key so cannot enter this. There is no activate by telephone option. Would a system restore fix the problem?
Saturday, September 29, 2012 5:44 PM -
If you know when the problem started, it possibly would - you'd need to go back three days or so prior to the appearance of the problem.
