    Hi there,
    Have looked at many forum replies and cannot seem to get my mothers computer to work. Sorry if I am rehashing anything already answered.
    A few months ago my mother completed a set of updates on her laptop (vista did this automatically for her) but the next time we turned on the laptop it said that we had to reinstall windows. We bought this laptop from a leading electrical store and windows was already loaded onto the computer so we have no disc(s) other than the recovery discs that we made ourselves.
    I have tried system recoveries and "Vista's Licensing Store" suggestions via cmd.exe as recommended in previous answers but nothing seems to help (I could very possibly not understand them fully). When we turn on the laptop it asks us to "Activate Windows now" but we have had this laptop for years now and know that OS is genuine. I have tried activating via this step and it has only recently allowed us to enter the product key after using the vista licensing store steps (it claimed that an unauthorised change was made to windows). After typing in the product key to activate again, it says 'windows activation error' with the error code 0x8004FC12. It also says that help and support is not able to start and we are not able to connect to the internet or access files as normal on this laptop. It seems to have allowed me to copy files to discs and memory sticks in an attempt to save my mother's data but we really don't want to have to wipe the computer. The desktop claims that our copy of windows is not genuine with the message "Build 6002, This copy of Windows is not genuine". The desktop appears black and many normal functions seem to be hindered.
    It also pops up with an alert saying that the computer failed to connect to a windows service (I think) after loading.
    The laptop is an Advent with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. We are currently both sharing this (my) laptop and we would love to be able to do something for hers.
    Kind Regards,
    Emma.

    Also just tried cmd.exe sfc /scannow and came back with "Protection did not find any integrity violations."
    Since playing about with the product key (which wasn't accepted) it actually no longer claims that our copy of windows is not genuine and I was even able to change my desktop from black to a normal background but I still can't connect to the internet ("The dependency service or group has failed to start") and I've no idea if I've actually managed to resolve anything.

    Hi there,
    Never even thought about that as my mother's programs weren't working before today but I must have done something! Thanks.

    Here is the diagnostic. Looks like it's just the internet connection that's the problem now (I hope!)

    Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0):

    Your mother's computer is not activated (yet) - from the above, it appears as if the system has just been reinstalled- or you've just attempted to change the Product Key from the default to the one on the COA Sticker?
    I suggest that you repost your problems with network connection to the Vista Repair Answers forum, who can help you more than we can - if you have problems with Activation after that, repeat the MGADiag report, and post back here.

    MODS: Please move this thread to the Vista Genuine forum.
     
    To properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
    Once saved, run the tool.
    Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
    To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.

    (Sorry for placing in wrong forum).
    Unfortunately my mother's computer will not connect to the internet because of this problem so I don't think that I'd be able to source that diagnostic tool?

    Emma.

    You can copy it to either floppy, CD or USB stick from your own PC, and run it from there, and then paste the report into Notepad, and copy it back.
