Sorry, Phil - it's been a chaotic couple of days!
I haven't been able to duplicate the error, so probably the best thing would be for your to attempt a Repair Install....
Download the SP1 Refresh for your language and edition from the links on these pages...
Heidoc -Microsoft DR Download links
The links are for downloads from the Digital River servers run for MS, so are about as safe as
you can get :)(It would also help if I checked the version of the OS before posting! - sorry!!)
Please use the instructions in teh following link instead.....
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html
Good luck with it!

The Key in use here is the Default Key - which usually occurs when the system has been installed without entering any Key at the time.
For which version and edition of Windows is the COA sticker valid?
Assuming it's for Vista Home Premium, please try the following.....
Recreate the Licensing Store with the correct data.
1) Open an Internet Browser window.
2) Type: %windir%\system32 into the browser address bar.
3) Find the file CMD.exe
4) Right-Click on CMD.exe and select 'Run as Administrator'
5) Type: net stop slsvc (it may ask you if you are sure, select yes)
6) Type: cd %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareLicensing
7) Type: rename tokens.dat tokens.bar
8) Type: cd %windir%\system32
9) Type: net start slsvc
10) Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)
11) Restart your computer twice.
You may be asked to enter your COA Key and/or Activate. – if asked for the Key, use the one on your COA sticker on the machine’s case (you may need to activate by telephone).
Once complete, run another MGADiag report and post back with the results.

Thank you for your quick response. However, upon reaching step 10,
"Type: cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc (It may take a long time for this to complete, please be patient)"
I recieve the following:
C:\Windows\[...abbreviated for time purposes]>cscript slmgr.vbs -rilc
Microsoft <R> Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright <C> Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Input Error: Can not find script file "C:\Windows\[...abbreviated]\slmgr.vbs".
I'm assuming this isn't part of the process you intended. Does this need attention or can I safely continue on to restarting the computer twice?

That sounds as if you missed out line 8, or got it wrong.
try this one
CD c:\Windows\System32

You were right, I missed line 8.
I went through the last steps and restarted the computer successfully. Upon first restart, I attempted to activate with the key on my sticker which failed again (not sure if I should have waited until the second restart to try this?). I restarted the computer again, tried the key again, failed again. I then tried to activate over the phone, and I was simply told to bring up the activation dialogue and enter my key (which to my understanding is the same thing I've been doing, but I tried it anyway and it failed again). Have I made a wrong step?
Here is another diagnostic after completing the process:

The Key is still teh Defautl Key, which is why activation is failing.
If the Key you are entering ends in 76PKF then you are entering the wrong one - probably one got through a Keyfinder utility. You MUST use the one from your COA sticker.
If you did enter the COA sticker Key, then it's obviously not 'taken'
Please open an Elevated Command Prompt and run the following command....
DIR C:\Windows\System32 /AR /S
How many files and folders are found?

(Just to clarify: I have been using the COA sticker Key.)
Total Files Listed: 3 Files, 3 Directories
Monday, October 29, 2012 7:12 PM -
Fair enough - it's surprising the number of people who swear they are using the right key until you challenge them about it! :)
The number of files found is pretty much as expected.
What anti-virus products have ever been installed on this machine?? - Residuals from earlier ones get in the way in strange ways, sometimes.
There's no real clues in the report, so we'll have to fall back on the standard checks for the moment
Please run a full CHKDSK and SFC scan....
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
CHKDSK C: /R
and hit the Enter key.
You will be told that the drive is locked,
and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot.
The CHKDSK will take a few hours depending on the size of the drive, so be patient!
After the CHKDSK has run, Windows should boot normally (possibly after a second auto-reboot) -
then run the SFC.
SFC -System File Checker - Instructions
Click on Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-click on the Command Prompt entry
Select Run as Administrator and accept the UAC prompt - the Elevated Command Prompt window should pop up.
At the Command prompt, type
SFC /SCANNOW
and hit the Enter key
Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
Copy the CBS.log file created to your desktop (you can't manipulate it directly) and then compress the copy and upload it to your SkyDrive (http://skydrive.live.com ) and post a link to it so that I can take a look.
Post a new MGADiag report with details of any error messages encountered.

That's not surprising at all, I imagine what I'm dealing with is something equally as trivial to you :)
Thanks again for your help so far, I will be going through your last steps later as I will be busy for the rest of today. Will continue to bother you tomorrow.Monday, October 29, 2012 8:15 PM -
It's a lot harder to solve such problems in Vista than it is in Win7 :)
No problem - bother away!

usually between 10 minutes and an hour, is all :)

Alright, so I ran the SFC. After completion it gave me the following message:
"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations."
No log was created on my desktop, so I manually located it, though I'm not sure if that's what you're after.
Here's the link to the log: http://sdrv.ms/UdVGXXAnd here's the latest diagnostic report:

Still no clues :(
Please run the CheckSUR tool from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
(you'll need to look in the details for Method 2)
Then zip the CheckSUR.log and upload it to your public SkyDrive so I can take a look - post
a link in your reply.The tool can take anywhere from 5 mins to a couple of hours to run (or 'Install') depending on
how much it has to do, and may exit silently - it may appear to freeze for most of that time, but be patient.Noel Paton | Nil Carborundum Illegitemi | CrashFixPC | The Three-toed Sloth

You'll have to forgive my ignorance... I ran the tool, and again, no log appeared on my desktop. I tried searching for it but didn't find anything.Tuesday, October 30, 2012 6:07 PM

It should be here....

No clues there either :(
Let's try something a little different...
please open an Elevated Command Prompt and run the following command
CSCRIPT C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs /DLV
post the results (you may also get a popup window - what does that say?)
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.

I was wondering how to do that... would never have guessed that icon was clickable though.

..and that's all?
nothing more?
OK - I'll see if I can duplicate that effect somehow - but it's going to take a while.
If you've not heard from me by this time tomorrow, shout!!

Sorry, Phil - it's been a chaotic couple of days!
I haven't been able to duplicate the error, so probably the best thing would be for your to attempt a Repair Install....
Download the SP1 Refresh for your language and edition from the links on these pages...
Heidoc -Microsoft DR Download links
The links are for downloads from the Digital River servers run for MS, so are about as safe as
you can get :)(It would also help if I checked the version of the OS before posting! - sorry!!)
Please use the instructions in teh following link instead.....
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html
Good luck with it!

Hey no problem, I can relate.
Thank you for all your help Noel. There are worse things in this life than not having a working Windows Vista Key.Friday, November 2, 2012 5:18 PM -
Such as? (in less than 25 words, with full justification! <eg>)
Although Vista was a major milestone for MS, it's my opinion that it was rushed to release - for good financial reasons but bad technical ones.
If you have a machine designed for an OS, you have a right to expect that OS to work properly - through all the upgrades.
Yes, there are a LOT of things that you can do to degrade performance (install Norton software, or other malware anongst them.... old grievances die hard!), but the basics should still work.
Vista fails this test (and I complained about it in the Beta) - thankfully Win7 solved most of the problems, but you're left you in the lurch.
Without a full SP2 download, or an acceptable slipstream, there are very few options for Vista users needing major repairs, apart from a full recovery/reinstall. Yes, we should all be taking backups/images, but for many that sort of option isn't either practical or possible, (and 'proving' such backups is a different story!), and Vista users appear to have been left high and dry by MS inthis respect, and reliant on third-party solutions....
(time to sign off, or I'll go on all night!)
Good luck - and I'll try and answers any specifics you may have :)
