Question
-
I have been dealing with this pop up for several months now on my 3 year old Gateway I bought new from B & H in New York. Another possibly related issue is in my System Windows Activation Status not available and Product ID not available.

I am hesitant to run the recovery disks that I was instructed to burn when I received the machine as I don't want to wipe my hard drive and my oldest system restore point did not help. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

That's as expected - the registry has been locked t prevent tampering.
Open Regedit and navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SPLDR
Key
Export it to a reg file for safety!
Right-click on the key name, and Select Permissions,
Click on Advanced, then the Owner tab
Make sure that Administrators is the owner, and put a tick in the 'Replace owner...' box at the bottom
Click OK once
add Administrators to the 'Groups or Usernames' list, and give them Full permissions
CLICK OK
Now move to the 0000 subkey
Double-click on the ConfigFlags entry
Change the data value to 400 (make sure that the radio-button is in 'Hexadecimal') and click OK
Exit Regedit, and reboot.

(Have you EVER used Norton software on this machine?)
Please run the following commands, and post the results.
REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\spldr /S
REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_SPLDR /S
REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\Legacy_SLSVC
REG QUERY HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\Legacy_SPPSVC
They may show something
Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP 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.

Hello Noel,
I was hoping you would weigh in on this as I have been seeing your name here and on another forum where you have helped others such as myself. I have in fact used Norton software on this machine; the Norton Security Suite was installed quite some time ago when I went to Comcast for my internet service. I have followed your instructions and the results are as follows:

Let's try cleaning the system a little...
Download the Norton Removal Tool from here https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?lg=english&ct=united+states&docid=20080710133834EN&product=home&version=1&pvid=f-home
Close all other programs, then run the tool. When it's complete, reboot the machine whether it asks for it or not.
After the reboot, open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command
NETSH WINSOCK RESET
You'll be advised to reboot - do so.
then post another MGADiag report.
Assuming there's no change, then we need to adjust one of the parameters shown in your data above - we'll try the simpler way first...
Open Device Manager
Click on View in the menu bar
Click on Show hidden devices
Navigate to 'Non-Plug and Play Drivers'
Find the 'Security Processor Loader Driver' and
right-click on it.Select Properties.
In the Driver tab...
Select Boot from the Type dropdown bar
Click Start
Click OK, and reboot
Post another MGADiag
report.

I was unable to run the boot of the security processor loader driver. When I tried to start I got a popup saying the system encountered the following error while attempting to start the service. The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. When I went to the General Tab and tried to enable the driver Windows was not able to enable this device.

Hey There Noel,
I do believe victory is yours! Windows now shows as activated and my Product ID is displayed. 107 Windows updates are available which I have started installing - I hope that is not jumping the gun? Is it also o.k. to re-install my Norton Security Suite? I appreciate your help and am amazed how quickly you got to the root of the problem.
Thank You

The report looks clear, now :)
I have to say that if it was my machine, I'd not let Norton anywhere near it. It's way too intrusive for my taste, and requires too much user input to be a 'fail-safe' option in my opinion.
Having said that, if you're used to the hassles involved, then reinstalling is an option. this error does appear to be significantly related to Norton.
Good luck with it, however you choose to go.
