  SYstem error 34 is an odd one.

  Your problem appears to be that the Software Licensing Service is not running. and it must, if Vista is not to complain.

   Have you been using any form of Registry Cleaner??

  First check that the Service is set to start Automatically –

  Click on Start,

   in the Search box, type

  SERVICES.MSC

  and hit the Enter key.

  Accept the UAC prompt, then look in the listing for the Software Licensing Service – right-click on it and select Properties.

  Make sure that it’s set to Automatic, and click Apply

   

   Once that’s properly set, Start the service – how long before it appears to stop again? Is there anything in the Event Viewer to indicate why it stopped? – is there an error message?

   

   Please run the following commands in an Elevated (Admin) Command Prompt Window, and post the results. 

   

  net start slsvc

  sc qc slsvc

  sc queryex slsvc

  sc qprivs slsvc

  sc qsidtype slsvc

  sc sdshow slsvc

   

    Here are some instructions to make life easier :)

  1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the CP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt. 

  2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once. 

  3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

  No, I do not use a registry cleaner.

  Also, this is the 32-bit version of Windows Vista.

  The Software Licensing service fails to start immediately with the error message: "Windows could not start the Software Licensing service on the local computer. Error 0xd0000022: 0xd0000022"

  The Event Log message: "The Software Licensing service failed to start, hr=0xd0000022, [2,4]"

  You didn't run that in an Elevated Command Prompt as requested.

  Please run the following commands in an Elevated Command prompt, and post the results.

  
  
  REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\spldr /S
  
  REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SPLDR /S
  
  They may show something

  I am supprised it did not run as Admin. I have the Dos Command setup to "Run as administrator" because I use it a lot to install and test the WxImageDownloader service.

  I re-ran the test as requested. The new result indicates it started; however, when I checked Services, "slsvc" is not running.

  Also, if relavent,  the "SLUIINotify" does not start. The message is about unauthorized windows modification and the screen background goes black. I have NOT tried to change any System software!!!! Maybe malware slipped by the free AVAST I'm using. I ran the Microsoft Safety Scan a few days ago on 16 million files and it found and fixed 27 problems. I ran CHKDSK C: /R and it did not find any problems. I hope this added info does not confuse the issue ...

  That all looks normal

  The SLUINotify message is interesting - I need to think about that.

  Please run the following command in an Elevated Command Prompt - I do NOT need the list, merely the number of files found (at least for the moment)
  

  DIR C:\Windows\System32 /AR /S

  [edit] also the number of directories, please [/edit]

  AHAH!!!!!

  To correct this:-

   

  Open Windows Explorer (Computer)

  Navigate to the C:\Windows folder

  Find the System32 sub-folder and right-click on it

  select Properties

   

  Clear the 'blob' from the 'Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)' box by clicking on it until it's plain white.

  Click on Apply.

   

  Make sure that the radio button for 'Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files' is set,
  and click OK.

   

  Accept the Administrator prompt. After a couple of seconds, you'll be told there is an
  error - click on the 'Ignore all' button.

   

  Wait for it to finish - it could take a couple of minutes.

   

  OK out, and exit Windows Explorer.

   

  Reboot twice

   

  Post a new MGADiag report.

  BINGO!

  We got there in the end :)

  Well done, and thanks for sticking with it.

  YES. Thank you very much for the assistance. But I feel sorry for the average Windows user who encounters an Activation problem such as this one. And what should other's who read this be able to do first without resorting to all the above? What caused the problem?

  Again! Thank you.

  David.

  Something had set all the files in the System32 folder to read-only status - sometimes it's the user in the mistaken belief that this will prevent virus infection, and sometimes it's the result of malware.

  Unfortunately the error-reporting in such cases leaves a lot to be desired, and there's not too many obvious signs.

  Think yourself lucky it was the odd 0xD0000022 error that twigged me onto it - eventually - as it resembled one in Windows 7 which I know fairly well, and it was a case of running through the permutations until we hit the right one.

  Having had the occasional brush with WGA problems myself, I know how confusing it can be when you're faced with the notification - and having worked these forums almost exclusively for the past two years or so, I certainly know how difficult it can be to track the cause down.

  It's taken that long for me to be able to solve the majority of the problem we see here....... and now I have to start the learning process all over again for Windows 8 with all its new 'capabilities'! By the time I get abreast of that, Win9 will probably be on the shelves :)
