Hi There, I own a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (paid for) that I've been using for a couple of years now with my home built PC.
Recently after having boot speed issues I decided to update my hard drive to a SSD. After installing a new OCZ drive, which proved to be unreliable, I reverted back to my old conventional HD (which still had the old windows installation on it - I work from
home, so I can't sit around!), 2 weeks later, I then received a replacement SSD, and today reinstalled a fresh copy of windows upon it and instantly saw an improvement.
I rebooted and swapped boot drives over to rescue some files from the old drive, then rebooted back to the new C: (SSD) only to find I got the message "An unauthorised change was made to windows", the WGA process fails as my default browser is chrome, as
it opens http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/?OSV=6.0.6001.2.00010100.1.0.000.09.1033&RFM=2&LegitCheckError=C004D401 I
click "Validate now" when I open the legitcheck.hta, it opens in what looks like IE, says validation in progress, then pops up a windows activation dialog over the window, again saying "an unauthorised change was made to windows, learn more online etc"
I click close, then the window behind it says "Windows validation was interrupted".
Whats going on... I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong here - whats wrong with booting back to an old installation to recover data? And more importantly, what happens if my new SSD drive also turns out to be faulty, am I going to have the same issue
again!
Please can you advise what I should do to resolve this. And No, I'm not going to buy Vista again or upgrade to Windows 7!
I downloaded the WGA diagnostic tool as instructed and here is the validation info.
