Repeat pop-up box requesting Windows Activation key, slui.exe4 does not work

Question
-
Hello! Like so many others, I lost my desktop background and started getting a repeated pop-up box asking for a Windows Activation key out of the blue. I have had this computer for over a year, so I have no idea what I did or one of my children did that started this issue. After searching for help, I followed the directions of a different post about typing in the slui.exe4, but I was never prompted for a country, it just made the Windows Activation key pop-up box reappear. Then I found another post about the MGA diagnostic tool. I ran the MGA diagnostic tool with the results as follows:

The problem here is that for some reason, the SLIC table in the BIOS is being seen by Windows as being not valid - this could be for a number of reasons, but the solution is to change the Product Key to that on the CoA sticker attached to the PC.To do this, click on the Start button and enterSLUI 3into the Search box, and hit the Enter keyThe Change Product Key wizard should come up. Follow the instructions, and then activate by telephone - you may need to speak to an operator if automated activation fails, in which case, redial the number, and do NOT respond to the request for which service you require - this forces a live operator to pick up.

Noel,
I did as you directed, but the problem is that the pop-up box asks for the CoA code on the sticker on the computer. I found the sticker on the bottom of the computer, but I can't read the sticker anymore because parts of it have been wiped away. As I said, I've had the computer over a year. So, I can't move forward. Is there a 1-800 number I can call?
Ann M. Dickerson
Not at MS, no - you need to get hold of Toshiba, and see if they have a record of the Product Key attached to your machine. Failing that, there are a couple of things that may work, but aren't guaranteed (and could make the situation worse), also a clean install from the recovery disks *may* fix it, or using a new Windows license ($$) would certainly fix it.
