VISTA Validation Error 0xC004C4A6 RRS feed

  • Question

  • Ok..I am getting really annoyed.  Last week my valid vista started telling me that it is not genuine, and turned off aero and ReadyBoost (which really slowed my PC down).  I have been emailing a MS Support rep, but takes 24 hours or more for them to email me back.  I have gone to the http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/ page and it tells me everything is ok.  Then when I try to validate, I get the error 0xC004C4A6.  I have reactivated several times both via the internet and by phone activation.  Will someone please help me get this thing working? 

     

    Thanks,

     

    David

  • Did you try phone activating after 6 Feb 2007?  If so, did they succeed?  What licensing state do you see when you type "slmgr -dlv" at an elevated command prompt (you can get there by right-clicking on Command Prompt in the Start Menu and choosing "Run as administrator").

     

    Thank you!

  • Thanks for getting back to me.  The License status shows licensed.  I have also did a clean boot by turning off non-ms services and all startup programs and tried to validate but same error.

  • Hmm... that's very strange.  Would you please submit a free service request by visiting: https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?c1=509&gprid=9860& and post your confirmation number here.  That way I can contact you directly so we can figure out the cause of your issue.  Thank you!

  • A little more info.  I decided to bite the bullet and format the drive and do a total reinstall.  However, I did not activate.  I got all the latest updates from MS.  I then went to the genuine site and it worked fine, told me I was genuine.  I then did an activation via phone, rebooted, and tried genuine again and got the same error code.  Please note that I did NOT install any other software on the computer other than what comes from MS.

    Thanks,

    David

  • Hi David,

     

    Could you rerun and post the results of the WGA diag tool, now that you've reinstalled?  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

     

    Thanks a lot!
