    You cannot vote on your own postIn Task Manager, if you right-click, and Goto the containing folder for the Validation, whatever, what would happen if one deleted SLUI.exe or any of the SL .dll's, or .exe's? I activated about a year ago, with the key that was on my box. The key on the bottom of my laptop is barely readable, and I can only make out a few letters, and some numbers. Here, from a snazzy program:

    I kind of figured that out. And, if I restore, it'll say the same exact thing. That's how I got to this issue in the first place. I've always wondered, what if Microsoft had stayed alongside Vista, instead of making a crappy new OS to cover it up? (No offense) Would that make you better than Apple; yes.

    Also, on Xbox Live, if I get reported by someone for doing absolutely nothing wrong, then why do I get banned, and stripped of Live? Also, thank you for actually trying to help. I called Apple the other day because I was having problems with my new MacBook Pro, and I got a computer, so I hung up. -TaxRevenue

    *IF* you do a System Recovery using the manufacturer’s Recovery media, you should not have to enter a Key – the system should insert the proper Key and certificates required for self-activation.
     
    If you use ANY other kind of installation mechanism, then at least one part of the mechanism will be missing – either the proper Key, the built-in certificate, or the SLIC table. NONE of these errors would produce the problems presented in your MGADiag report. Windows will ask for a Product Key at some point – and you should enter the Key from the COA sticker – not any other one – and possibly activate by phone.
     
    As far as Xbox is concerned, there’s a good chance that the problem is not with you, as such, but that your Xbox account may have been hacked. I suggest that you post in a specialist Xbox forum for assistance on that problem.

    Your Key in this report is the Default Key for Vista Home Premium – which cannot be activated.
    You have a number of file mismatches – which are all to do with IE and desktop display. I suspect that you have/had a malware infection.
    ‘deleting’ things from task manager simply stops them from running at that time – it has no effect after a reboot.
    You would normally need to input your COA Key at some point in the repair process to be able to activate the system – but you say that the COA sticker is unreadable. In such cases the best thing is to do a System Recovery back to ex-factory state using the manufacturer’s Recovery media – either hard drive partition, or DVDs. Note that this will delete everything on the system drive, so back up your data to external media first.

    I was having the freezing up, not being able to open glitch on the laptop. The only way that I could log in, and stay logged in, was through Safe Mode, where I restored to an earlier point in time to undo another bad update. Also, I have bought Norton, so if I have been invaded by a virus (Other than my friend, who also programs), who infected me with some sort of CPU hogging application, then I'd say that I've been scammed. And it's impossible to undo an undo, as far as I know. I have 3 other computers, so I'm good if this Windows laptop is going out on me. As for the COA sticker.. I could tell you the digits that I can read, or fairly make out. Most over to the center left of the sticker are blurred out. I have 3 other Vista laptop's in my house, but the COA's are all blurred, and fairly legible. I will not spend more money on something that will just be lost again.

    Let me check to see if the "Partial Product Key" digits are ones that I can read. I may be able to get a few more digits deciphered.

    Backup your important files and then perform a system recovery.  See: What is Gateway System Recovery?

    The Partial Product Key in the report has no bearing whatever on your COA Key – the Default Key is present in every installation of Vista, although it is only actually used when the proper Key is not available.

    The COA sticker is unreadable. (The Microsoft sticker on the underside of the computer) If I am asked again by this computer to "Activate Windows", then I'll throw it at the wall. And I got back onto my account. It was suspended for a day, for enjoying a game. (Microsoft Moderators for Xbox ban someone for doing nothing, at all.)

    Sorry – but there’s nothing I can do about Xbox forums (I’ve never nee there, and have no present need or intention to go there).
    I do not believe however that the moderators ban people for no reason – but there is always the chance that you were caught by a spoofer, or that you hit a raw nerve.
     
    I can appreciate your frustration about activation – I’ve been there myself.
     
    All I can suggest re: Windows is that you  try talking to an Activation rep, and see if they can help (I don’t have too high an opinion of most of them, but some will go the extra parsec!<g>)

    Ok.. By the way. If I report someone on Xbox Live, they get banned, no questions asked. And, do you know what 1146.exe is? I had to use Terminal to remove it from my computer for hogging my resources. Thinking it's a virus from the leet hacks that I downloaded. I also know a bit of Java, if that helps. -TaxRevenue

    http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=1146.exe is all I can do – it appears to be a video convertor, but may also be malware.
     
    I don’t think Java is relevant, since Java executables don’t have an EXE extension.
     
    I honestly cannot believe that anyone can be banned from Xbox on the basis of one report – perhaps you simply get the worst offenders?

    Malware.. I downloaded cheats for a game, called "Mystic", and it infected my system. I have them on my Mac, too. If I can recover the link, then I'll give it to you. And I gave up on Xbox. I'll just stick to PC/MAC gaming from now on.

    PS: I opened the Event Log/Viewer, and got this: Audit Failure    1/16/2012 9:19:17 AM    Microsoft Windows security auditing.    5032    Other System Events

    (This is what I got from Copying the Table.) Pretty sure that the "hax" I downloaded were a virus.

    ...in that case I can only say that you have yourself to blame – many cheats contain hidden surprises – and Xbox is a very big target to aim for :(
     
    Make sure that your AV is up to date, and run a full system scan from every account on the machine.
    download and install Malwarebytes AntiMalware free edition – update it and run a full system scan in your main account, and quick scans in every other account.
    See if that gets rid of the nasties.

    Yep. The particular game I downloaded cheats for, was "Minecraft". An indie game by Mojang AB. I downloaded some "Mystic" hacking client, and it installed some Applications. "Saluta Sera" is one of them. If I can get on to my OLD laptop, then I can fix it. I forgot my password, so I probably won't be able to.

    There are almost always ways around passwords – but I can’t point you at them in these forums.
     
    All I can say at this point is ‘good luck’
