Windows Vista is saying it is not Genuine but it came pre-installed with my laptop

Question
-
Can someone please help me, I have had my Hp Pavilion Laptop for 2 years now and today an activate windows pop up keeps coming up on my taskbar. I also have windows vista and it was pre-installed on my laptop. When I go to my computer and click properties a product id is there in the system information but it says I need to active now. I have restored my computer 2 times and it has not resolved the issue. Another issue is that the sticker at the bottom of my laptop with my product key has faded (I have had my laptop for 2 years). I have downloaded the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and these are the results.
Thankyou, I would really appreciate any help.

BIOS valid for OA 2.0: no, invalid SLIC table
For some reason your PC is unable to properly read the BIOS SLIC table on which it depends to properly self-activate the OEM_SLP Key in use.The solution is normally to change the Product Key to the one on your COA Sticker on the case of the machine, using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System Properties page - and then you would need to activate it by telephone.You say that you've 'restored' the computer twice in an effort to fix this? - when you use that term it can mean two things -1) you used System Restore to go back to a time when the system was OK2) You used the manufacturer's Recovery system to put the machine back to ex-factory status.If you mean the former, then I'm not too surprised that that did not fix the problem.If the latter, then you have a more serious problem, as it may mean that the BIOS itself is corrupted.What is the EXACT model number (the serial number would be useful as well) of your machine? This will help me check to see if there is a Vista-compliant BIOS update available for your machine.Unfortunately, if you can't read the COA Sticker for the Product Key (use a bright light and a magnifier), then your only option is to either fix the BIOS (if it is actually a problem with the BIOS) or a Factory Recovery (which means backing up all your data to external storage, doing the recovery, and then reinstalling all your applications and restoring the data).Manufacturer's do not keep a record of which Key was shipped on which computer (it would be nice, but very insecure), so it's no use asking them for it - and I don' believe that they can issue new Keys for Vista either.The only other option would be to purchase a new Windows (or other OS) License, and install that to replace your current installation.

I'm sorry I wasn't aware of that, I used System Restore. The model number is : dv5-1223TX and the serial number is: CNF851050F
I can't see the COA sticker information at all. It is completely faded. I just don't understand why it is happening, why is it that they can't issue a new one? Do you think that doing a Factory Recovery will solve the problem?
ThankyouTuesday, July 5, 2011 1:53 PM -

A factory recovery may well fix it - but try the BIOS update first..... make sure that you read the instructions and confirm this is the correct machine, as flashing the BIOS wrongly can make a very expensive doorstop out of your PC!Note - do not try updating to the latest version, as it looks as if it does not contain the SLIC table needed (I can't be certain that this one does, but from the wording it looks as if it does)You will have to reboot TWICE after the update has run - then run another MGADiag report and post the results.

Thankyou for that, I will try it now, but before I do I just managed to use a program which displayed my CD key I clicked change product key and entered it and it says 'windows activation error' and an error code: 0XC004E003.Tuesday, July 5, 2011 3:44 PM

Yep - the key you found was the one already in use. That Key is an OEM_SLP Key and it cannot be activated in the normal way (i.e. by internet or over the phone), but relies in the SLIC table in the BIOS (which is what we are hoping to make the OS see properly at the moment, by updating the BIOS)

And no more was heard from Louisa11 because she was stupidly told to flash the bios without first acertaining if she was savy enough to do so.Sunday, October 23, 2011 6:31 PM

The probability is that yes, the BIOS flash didn't work - but all OEM sites have the proper warnings on them about the problems with flashing BIOS, and unless she ignored them, she's almost certainly no worse off that she was before.
Given the lack of a COA Key, there was no other option, except a System Recovery, which would have meant the loss of all current data.
Having said that - this thread is over 3 months old - I suspect that the OP would have come back given half a chance, unless the advice had solved the problem.
