Hi Tippo,
Yep, that's what I though, the issue IS occuring even when you are not playing the game. But when you play the game, the issue seems to be just more visible.
In Both of your Diagnostic Report it shows the error code "Validation Code: 0x80070426". This means that the Software Licensing Service has stopped. Vista uses this Service to check itself and confirm it is Genuine. When the servise is stopped, Vista is unable to confirm it's own Genuine status and usually this will make Vista flag itself as Non-Genuine.
But in your particular case, even though the Software Licensing Service is not running before you play the game, for some reason, Vista only becomes aware that the Service isn't running (and flags itself as Non-Genuine), only after you launch that game. Very strange, but the fix should be easy, just restart the Software Licensing Service.
Below are the Manual steps to Force Start the Software Licensing Service.
(NOTE: Once you type the net start slsvc command and hit Enter, if you receive any error, then, for some reason, Vista is not processing the command correctly and the issue is larger then just a Software Licensing problem. In that case, I would suggest contacting Vista core support at http://support.microsoft.com )
If you have acces to the Start button:
1) Click the Start button
2) Type: cmd in the Start Search field
3) At the top the Start window, you will see cmd.exe
4) Right Click cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator
5) Type: net start slsvc
If you do not have access to the Start button:
1) Click the option Access computer with reduced functionality
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: net start slsvc
Thank you,
